Project Life and A Dash of Joy
Project Life is a virtual wellness house for the metastatic breast cancer community. Focusing on their five dimensions of wellness, it offers programs to address the various topics that a Metastatic Breast Cancer patient and their loved ones face through different wellness rooms. Addressed topics include (but is not a comprehensive list) financial toxicity, end of life planning, fertility and sexual challenges, parenting, caregiving, grief, therapeutic art, journaling, and one-to-one mentoring. The groups and classes are small to invite more personal conversations, interactions, and a safe place to “BE."
