This clinical trial studies whether a post-treatment supportive service program can be used to help breast cancer survivors in Western New York (WNY) transition into post-treatment life (survivorship). Programming for cancer survivors in WNY is crucially needed. Poverty and cancer have affected the region for years. The post-treatment supportive service program is delivered to breast cancer survivors of WNY. It combines group support sessions and one-on-one (1:1) peer mentoring sessions. The group support sessions include traditional support groups, educational topics/lessons, activities, such as cooking lessons, celebrations, or facility tours, and guest speakers. The 1:1 peer mentoring sessions are held with a long-term breast cancer survivor mentor. The long-term breast cancer survivor mentor helps the mentee get in the practice of performing once monthly self-assessments and create plans to help improve any identified modifiable risk factors. The long-term breast cancer survivor mentor can also help connect the mentee to providers or resources as needed. A post-treatment supportive service program may help breast cancer survivors in WNY transition into survivorship.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the feasibility and acceptability of the newly generated survivorship programming.
II. To prepare for possible future dissemination and implementations at other National Witness Project® (NWP) sites.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. Examinations of:
Ia. Program participants overall health, wellbeing, and quality of life;
Ib. Program participants breast cancer recurrence rates;
Ic. Factors that influence the program’s self-sustainability potential;
Id. Processes involved in programming revision / modification / improvement etc.
OUTLINE:
Patients attend survivorship group support sessions over 2 hours on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month and 1:1 peer mentoring sessions with long-term breast cancer survivors on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month for up to 12 months.
