Ellen : Peer Support Volunteer
The most satisfying feeling of being a BreaCan volunteer is when a woman I am speaking with, has come in or phoned in a very emotional state, and after a while you can see, hear or feel the sigh of relief when you have made that connection. When they feel they have been heard and understood, I can then disclose that I had the same thoughts, fears and feelings and that what she is going through is normal. It’s wonderful to see the change in her face or voice and hear her maybe laugh as we continue and know her issues have been validated and support is there.
