“Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.”
– Martin Luther King Jr.
PROJECT COMMUNITY
OUR CORE PRINCIPLES
OUTREACH
Providing services to targeted audiences who might not otherwise have access to those services. The TDJBCF is well respected in the community and mobile in meeting those in need of programs and services at their locations.
EDUCATION
Identifying the needs of targeted audiences and designing and implementing training programs and other modalities to help raise awareness of breast cancer, reduce myths and fears and increase knowledge or influence attitudes with a goal of practicing a healthy life style.
SUPPORT
Bringing together survivors, caretakers, and others in a monthly support group with other survivors to draw strength and encouragement as no one should walk their journey alone. Through the support group, skilled speakers discuss various topics while providing a safe and caring environment for survivors to share their stories and give voice to the silent ones.
