New Life After Cancer is a non-profit organization created to support cancer survivors’ transitions to wellness through whole-person oriented educational workshops, retreats, advocacy, research, and promotion of academic-community collaborations. How we are unique:
* Our emphasis is on survivorship as a way of life rather than support during treatment, which means that we target the point in t
he process of recovery when there is a realization that a phase shift has to take place and that going back to “life as normal” before breast cancer is no longer the healthiest or wisest option.
* Our orientation is educational - we believe that knowledge empowers. We provide the tools and support to motivate adoption of sustainable, healthy lifestyles
* Our retreats and workshops - we create an eclectic variety of small-group retreats and workshops. We believe that one size does not fit all, so we create unique venues to match the topic, the faculty, and the participants so that each retreat and workshop is a unique experience. Like the newest “targeted” anti-cancer treatments we design “targeted” survivorship support.
* Our collaborative interactions between academic and community practitioners to study new ways of providing support, and to recruit professionals fro outside the cancer fields to direct their expertise to cancer survivorship.
