The Young Breast Cancer Survivorship (YBCS) program is dedicated to enhancing the health and wellness of young survivors of breast cancer. Our goal is to address the unique gaps in services that exist for this population by providing a regionally refined community resource listing of programs and services that cater to the specific challenges that young survivors face. The YBCS program especially focuses on psychosocial support services and educational programs aimed at providing education on coping with various psychosocial issues.

Next Steps – Program Implementation Psychosocial program development in process Online resource library Awarded grant funding from UCLA’s Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) Development of regional resources focused on reproductive services and fertility preservation
