In-Person Programming

Networking Group Guidelines

This is a safe, supportive, confidential environment for individuals living with Breast, Gynecologic, or Metastatic Cancer.

We ask that you:

1. Arrive on time. Late arrivals and leaving early are disruptive to fellow survivors. Doors are locked 15 minutes after each meeting begins.
2. Please sign in and sign Covid attestation each time you enter the Breast Cancer Coalition. Please be prepared to show proof of vaccination and booster.
3. Please respect the confidentiality of all participants.
4. Talk about your own experiences and feelings.
5. Respect each person’s way of dealing with their diagnosis and treatment choices.
6. Share airtime with other group members.
7. Be a good listener.
8. Refrain from giving advice.
9. Resist any temptation to criticize others.
10. Avoid “bad mouthing” specific health care providers. Recognize that each person may experience a provider differently.
11. Communicate any concerns about the group within the group whenever possible, or to the facilitator or appropriate Breast Cancer Coalition staff.
12. In-Person programming is subject to change according to the Center for Disease Control and Monroe County Department of Health directives.
