Become a Mentor - After Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Get involved

The Power of One-to-One

Mentors are the heart of ABCD. They know what it feels like to hear, “you have breast cancer.” As an ABCD Mentor, you’ll provide one-to-one emotional support by phone, text or online to people affected by this disease. Our Mentors truly want to give back. They are available to provide as much or as little support as needed, from the moment of diagnosis through treatment and beyond.

Professionally-trained Mentors

All ABCD Mentors are volunteers who are breast cancer survivors at least 1 year past completing treatment (with the exception of hormone replacement therapy), living with metastatic/Stage IV disease, or a friend, family, or caregiver of a breast cancer patient.

Each Mentor has been interviewed, screened, and completed a comprehensive training program specifically developed for ABCD to help them best use their personal breast cancer experience to comfort and guide those they will be mentoring.  ABCD’s interactive training covers:
