Rural Education Program

BREAST RECONSTRUCTION AWARENESS EVENTS
According to  reports the areas with the lowest rates of breast reconstruction are due to a lack of information and resources in rural and remote areas. 

Reclaim Your Curves aims to reach women in these locations to inform them about their post mastectomy options and new technologies that may assist them to reclaim their curves.

To achieve this we need to travel to rural locations, meet with the local health professionals and offer information seminars and take home information to consumers. 
  • Costs associated with the Rural Education Program include travel, accommodation and development and printing of educational materials and resources. 
  • Your gift will help facilitate education events.
Outcomes of this project
  • women in rural and regional locations will have more resources at their finger tips to make decisions about breast reconstruction, currently only 2% of rural women who face mastectomy follow through to reclaim their curves through breast reconstruction. New technologies and information may assist with access for these women.
  • this project specifically targets women who are not online and provides opportunities to connect with other women who have undergone procedures
  • health professionals will learn about the resources and support offered by Reclaim Your Curves

Information Forums and Seminars across Australia

As a part of our commitment to ensure women in Australia have the information they need to make informed decisions about their body, we attend breast cancer and breast reconstruction forums, events and seminars whenever we have the opportunity.
Outcomes of this project​
  • women in rural and regional locations will have more resources at their finger tips to make decisions about breast reconstruction, currently only 2% of rural women who face mastectomy follow through to reclaim their curves through breast reconstruction. New technologies and information may assist with access for these women.
  • opportunities arise at these events to network with other relevant organisations who take our information packs back to their organisations to help spread the word about our resources and to refer women to our support.
  • opportunities to liaise with health professionals to inform them about the information and support we provide

Peer Support 

An army of volunteers across Australia are supporting women face to face and online every - single - day.

There is nothing quite like getting information and advice from someone who has walked the walk. Your surgeon should be able to show you several images of women who have had procedures, but this is just part of the picture. Having those images in the context of an actual person and her lifestyle can play an enormous part in helping you to feel more assured about your choices. ​
