Volunteers Sought For Breast Cancer Program

Women and men who are breast cancer survivors, and family members and friends of survivors who are concerned about breast health issues, can become volunteers at the Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program in Garden City, N.Y.

Volunteers can help by doing outreach to the community, office work, fund raising and publicity, as well as by answering hotline calls. Hotline volunteers provide emotional support, information and referral services to callers with breast health concerns.

The next five session training cycle will be held on five Mondays beginning October 15, 2007. The sessions will run from 6:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. at the Adelphi University School of Social Work in Garden City.

Although the program is housed on Long Island, hotline services and telephone counseling are available to callers throughout New York State.

For information about the training and to schedule an appointment for an interview, call Caroline Mulcahy, C.S.W. at (516) 877-4315.

Anyone who is worried about breast cancer should call the hotline for help at 800-877-8077. You are not alone.
