Production of the Guide has been funded by a grant from the New York State Assembly.
NYSBCSEN wishes to thank the New York State Assembly for making it possible to produce this guide, and for their on-going support of the 220,000 New York women and men living each day with a breast cancer diagnosis.

The purpose of this guide is three-fold:
To create better communication between NYSBCSEN member
organizations in order to learn from each other, help those who seek our
assistance access a broader range of services, and support each other in our
daily work guiding people with breast cancer through their journey.
To create a portal of entry for NewYorkers facing breast cancer who live
in areas that do not have a local breast cancer organization.This Guide to
Services allows anyone facing breast cancer who contacts NYSBCSEN to access
telephone or online services offered by our member organizations, as well as,
when possible, to travel for face-to-face services in the communities represented
in the Guide.
To become a mentoring tool for new organizations that want to know how
to begin, what services to offer, and how to create those services for their
own communities.
Important Note:
This Guide is based on information provided by individual
member organizations concerning the services that they offer; NYSBCSEN has
merely put this list together in a consistent format in a single place.
