Navigating Your Breast Cancer Experience Workshop
We are thrilled to have hosted the Susan G. Komen’s Navigating Your Breast Cancer Experience Workshop on Saturday, May 17, 2025, at the Women’s University Club in Seattle. This special event was designed to provide individuals living with a breast cancer diagnosis—and their care partners—a supportive and collaborative space to gather information, connect with others, and discover practical resources for improving both physical and emotional well-being. Each session was recorded and we will have a link for viewing on Komen’s YouTube page very soon. Please check back.
This free educational event is made possible by the generosity of donors—and we’d love your support to ensure we can continue offering these vital resources. If you’d like to contribute, please consider making a gift to our Pacific Northwest event here.
