Can Cope is a structured group education program of the American Cancer Society for adult patients, their family members and friends. The course is conducted as a consecutive series addressing a variety of topics relevant to the cancer experience. Throughout this course, information about cancer and its treatment is presented to enhance the skills needed for self care as well as to promote physical and emotional well being.
Specific objectives are to enhance the participants knowledge, skills and attitudes about cancer.
The American Cancer Society must expand its efforts to encourage women who have not been receiving regular screening to take action and obtain annual mammograms. This multi-faceted program depends upon volunteer coordinators to help identify callers who have had a mammogram from mammography centers, federally funded clinics, churches, social groups and living centers, etc. These callers will identify women who have not had mammograms and encourage them to get one. It offers a visit from an ACS volunteer who has had breast cancer. Better program was designed in collaboration with the National Cosmetology Association and the cosmetics Toiletry and Fragrance Association to provide cosmetic support for women with cancer.
