What Clients are saying about Think Pink "I can’t thank you fabulous souls at Think Pink nearly enough for providing such wonderful support for us as we travel our journey's with cancer. The variety of programs offered means there is something to aid and interest everyone. New ideas and knowledge are always helpful and joining in is always a really positive experience for me. It’s good being divided into dedicated groups for some of the days – it keeps the info relevant. I know the others in my group really understand ‘the road’.  Knowing support is there for the asking is gold." ....Mary

CONVERSATIONS ARE VITAL IN COVID-19 LOCK DOWN The unprecedented lock down of metropolitan Melbourne for six weeks as part of the community strategy to combat the coronavirus and keep our community safe changes our normal daily lives and the amount of contact we have with family and friends. Having conversations with family, friends, neighbours and work colleagues, who are isolated during this lock down period, is vital to people's well being and mental health. Through the outstanding work of the Think Pink Living Centre, under the guidance of our Breast Care Nurse and Manager, Andrea Cannon, our staff, Think Pink volunteers and session facilitators, many of these conversations take place every day via the online platform Zoom, or via the telephone, as demand for the unique Think Pink services grows by the day. Last Thursday, Dr Katie Allen MP, Federal Member for Higgins, was a guest speaker to one of the online seminars with 40 participants to discuss COVID-19. Ms Allen is no stranger to the Think Pink community having stepped in to officially launch the new Think Pink Living Centre on behalf of the Federal Minister for Health, the Hon. Greg Hunt MP.
