Support Connection, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that provides free, confidential support services to people affected by breast and ovarian cancer. Based in Yorktown Heights, New York, the organization offers a model in which trained peer counselors—cancer survivors themselves—provide emotional support, information about the disease, and connections to resources to help individuals navigate their journey. Services are available by phone or in person during weekday hours, with after-hours calls returned the next business day, and support is offered for as long as needed. In addition to one-on-one support, the group program includes monthly in-person and teleconference support groups across several counties, wellness classes, educational programs, a lending library, and referrals to related agencies, all designed to reach women regardless of location. The organization serves communities nationwide through its toll-free hotline and expanded online support initiatives, including a recent partnership to broaden online access for patients and families.
