New BCNA disability resource

Hi everyone. I’m Jill and I’m on the Community Programs Team. I’m working on a new disability resource and would really like your help!

Do you live in Victoria?
Are you living with a disability?
Would you like to share your story?

Last year, BCNA engaged with a diverse range of people living with a disability who had been diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as carers of people with a disability and a diagnosis of breast cancer. The experiences they shared provided us with valuable insights into the information and support needs, during and after their breast cancer treatment and care. In response to these learnings, BCNA will develop a suite of resources in accessible formats including easy English fact sheets, audio recordings and videos.

To understand the experiences of people with a disability and breast cancer we are seeking people and their carers to share their stories in these videos!

BCNA wants to develop a short video of:

  • People living with a disability who have also been diagnosed with breast cancer
  • Carers of a person with a disability and a diagnosis of breast cancer

We are currently looking for people who meet one of the above criteria, and who live in Victoria. Filming will take approximately two to three hours at a location that is convenient to you.

If you would like to be involved or provide feedback, please comment on this post or contact me at jhead@bcna.org.au or call 1800 500 258. Thanks!
