As we all gathered this holiday season, we remembered those no longer with us and cherish the memories we have of past celebrations with them. We are thankful to be able to have all those good times and places we shared imprinted in our minds and in our hearts.
From last year, I have those same thoughts about Women Supporting Women. Remembering the events and programs the staff, board, and I were able to hold. Sometimes laughing at situations that happened during them, but always surprised at the end of the day of what we accomplished. Thinking about all the survivors who came to visit us and use our services, hoping WSW was able to make their cancer journey in 2021 a little more bearable. I couldn’t be more grateful for and love what this local, nonprofit organization does for our community.
WSW was only able to provide many of our programs and services due to the generosity and kindness of those in our community who believe in WSW as I do. We never know if someday the services we offer may provide comfort to our own family and/or friends. You all have made it possible for Women Supporting Women to continue on and to welcome in 2022 with a renewed spirit. Thank you to our sponsors, donors, survivors, volunteers, board members, and especially staff for all you have done for WSW during this time.
With sincere gratitude for all your support throughout the year to Women Supporting Women and me.
Have a Safe and Happy New Year!
Cindy Feist, Executive Director

WSW is proud to offer a new mental health program called “Forward Focus” Therapy Program. Cancer survivors often feel alone and stressed during their breast cancer journey. When you add in the Coronavirus, it is difficult to balance good mental health. The “Forward Focus” Therapy Program is a step in the right direction. Survivors struggling with mental health issues at this time may take advantage of this program. WSW has partnered with Congruent Counseling Services, LLC to provide up to 5 individual therapy sessions for current survivors suffering from anxieties of their diagnosis and the stress of being immune compromised during Covid-19. After the initial 5 sessions, survivors can continue therapy if they so choose and use either Medicare, Medicaid or other private insurance.
These therapy sessions will be done through telehealth.
If you are a breast cancer survivor, currently going through breast cancer treatment and are in need of additional support, please contact WSW at 410-548-7880 or email Mentor@womensupportingwomen.org
