Online support - Breast Cancer Click
Breast Cancer Click is a national breast cancer online support website developed as part of a Breast Cancer Care WA and Edith Cowan University joint research project.
'The Click' is a support site for those with breast cancer and their supporters, friends, family and carers and is a place for you to connect with others, share your experiences in a safe environment and know you are not alone.
'The Click' is free and easy to join and once you are a member you can ask questions, take part in discussions, connect with people in similar situations and much more! From mid-December 2011, 'The Click' also offers guidance from a part-time online breast care nurse. Glenys is available to respond to forum posts, any questions you may have and will be initiating a range of discussions and education forums.
'The Click' is for approved members only and your privacy is very important to us. To become a member and participate in this breast cancer support research project, go to www.breastcancerclick.com.au and click on the 'free members sign up' option and begin your user profile.
By joining 'The Click' you will also be taking part in a three year PhD research project by Edith Cowan University, so not only can you benefit from connecting with others online, you could be shaping the future of online health support services!
A special thanks goes out to everyone who has supported Steel Blue's Purple Boot Brigade - without this much needed funding, Breast Cancer Click would not have become a reality! With nearly 19,000 pairs of boots now helping stamp out breast cancer across Australia, Steel Blue's generous donations exceed $500,000 and help continue the great work of the Purple Boot Brigade and Breast Cancer Care WA teams.
We invite you all to check out 'The Click' and join us to support the thousands of Australians affected by breast cancer.
