New online forum for ‘Young New Zealand Women’

 

Posted September 2011
Breast Cancer Support and Breast Cancer Network (NZ) are very pleased to announce the establishment of an online group for New Zealand Young Women.  The new Forum is kindly hosted by the Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) and can be accessed through their website at www.bcna.org.au
 
The Forum follows through on two of the many recommendations that emerged from the 2007 Rotorua Conference organised by BCN (NZ): ‘that technology be used to connect young New Zealanders experiencing breast cancer’ and ‘that an online group be implemented’.
 
To join the online group, please begin by visiting www.bcna.org.au, click onto Join our network and create your online profile. The site does not currently recognise New Zealand post codes so please enter 3124 in the post code section.
 
Once you have set up a profile, you can search for online groups using the Find Groups facility. Enter the keywords New Zealand into the Keywords Search box and then scroll down to locate the New Zealand Young Women’s Group page. Once you reach the page, you can then register your interest in joining the group.
 
This group is open to women who have experienced breast cancer and the group is currently facilitated by Breast Cancer Support. If you have any problems registering or would like further information, please contact BCS at support@breastcancersupport.co.nz.
