Sara Allain, at the QEII/Dalhousie School of Health Sciences, is looking for Breast Cancer Patients, Survivors or Family members who would be willing to be group facilitators for Students in the Health Professions at Dalhousie University.  Volunteers will be asked to help facilitate a case study provided to students on the care of a patient with Breast Cancer. There will be a small honorarium presented to the volunteers for their time and dedication to the event.
 
This event is taking place:
Tuesday, October 28th from 3:30pm-5:30pm, The facilitation orientation will take place 2:30pm-3:30pm.
Thursday, October 30th from 3:30pm-5:30pm, The facilitation orientation will  take place 2:30pm-3:30pm.
 
-  Volunteers would have a short facilitator orientation provided by Dalhousie, one hour or less, prior to the event and then facilitate the groups for up to two hours. Volunteers will be supported by faculty who will be present and who will lead the agenda for the day.
 
- Volunteers will be asked to aid groups of 10 students from varying backgrounds, through a case, providing feedback on the emotional aspect of diagnosis, treatment, post treatment and navigating the health care system.
 
- The School is looking for 20 volunteers per session (Tuesday and Thursday) and it would  great if volunteers could commit for both days! However, if volunteers can only commit to one day, the event would be happy to have volunteers for one of the two days!!
