Summary

This clinical trial studies whether a post-treatment supportive service program can be used to help breast cancer survivors in Western New York (WNY) transition into post-treatment life (survivorship). The post-treatment supportive service program is delivered to breast cancer survivors of WNY. It combines group support sessions and one-on-one (1:1) peer mentoring sessions. The group support sessions include traditional support groups, educational topics/lessons, activities, such as cooking lessons, celebrations, or facility tours, and guest speakers. The 1:1 peer mentoring sessions are held with a long-term breast cancer survivor mentor. The long-term breast cancer survivor mentor helps the mentee get in the practice of performing once monthly self-assessments and create plans to help improve any identified modifiable risk factors. The long-term breast cancer survivor mentor can also help connect the mentee to providers or resources as needed. A post-treatment supportive service program may help Black women breast cancer survivors in WNY transition into survivorship.
