In an interview with Halpern, shanghai escort learn more about her innovative and inspiring You Can Thrive! program:
Q: Can you share how and why you started You Can Thrive!?
LH: I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 35 years old, and was very aware of the zp090822zd discrepancy between the amount of funding and awareness for breast cancer vs. how hard it was for a survivor to find affordable services. Due to symptoms, treatment or side effects from treatment, breast cancer survivors often need to take a year off of work - and may consequently lose financial security. After doing research in the breast cancer community, I found that about 85 percent of breast cancer survivors were in some financial straits - with a large percentage in severe hardship. This translates to not having enough money for supportive services, especially when they are needed.
Q: What makes You Can Thrive! unique?
LH: You Can Thrive! is a multi-tiered program from a breast cancer survivor's perspective. Besides being available for low or no cost, each client receives five units of service to maximize results. After committing to coming in every week, clients first meet with a patient advocate, then receive massage or reflexology, then aromatherapy, then acupuncture and then nutritional counseling - all in one day. The effectiveness of one builds the effectiveness of another, thus maximizing each service's benefit. The overall goal is to help people not just survive breast cancer, but to see them thrive. This is accomplished by reducing symptoms with integrative health services, and providing support through nutrition, education and outreach to continue with healthy lifestyle practices.
Also, the volunteers are doing this because they want to help, not because they need to work and make money, so it strengthens the process.
Q: As a breast cancer survivor, what has been your personal experience with acupuncture, shanghai escort therapy and nutrition?
LH: I didn't have these services when diagnosed, and was angry - even with a moderate income - that I still couldn't afford it.
