Virtual 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. Even on Zoom, late arrivals and leaving early are disruptive to fellow survivors. Consistently late participants will be waitlisted.
2. Please join from a quiet area of your home to prevent background noise and protect confidentiality for all participants.
3. Please mute yourself upon entering.
4. Make sure your first name and last initial is displayed as your screen name for attendance purposes
5. Please respect the confidentiality of all participants.
6. Talk about your own experiences and feelings.
7. Respect each person’s way of dealing with their diagnosis and treatment choices.
8. Share airtime with other group members.
9. Be a good listener.
10. Refrain from giving advice.
11. Resist any temptation to criticize others.
12. Avoid “bad mouthing” specific health care providers. Recognize that each person may experience a provider differently.
13. Communicate and concerns about the group within the group whenever possible, or to the facilitator or appropriate Breast Cancer Coalition staff.
