Sharsheret’s Mission: Support, Education, Information
Sharsheret’s model of online and telephone-based programming enables us to continue to serve our community and to meet the recent increase in demand for our life changing and lifesaving services. We provide much needed emotional support, mental health counseling, critical education, and financial subsidies. Sharsheret cultivates community by bringing together women, families, caregivers, healthcare professionals and others through national webinars offering expert medical information, healthy living opportunities, and Jewish spirituality experiences for thousands of Jewish women facing breast cancer and ovarian cancer in our communities.
Mission Statement
Sharsheret, a Jewish not-for-profit organization, provides personalized support, lifesaving education, financial assistance and genetic counseling to empower those faced with or at increased genetic risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer.
While our expertise is in young women and Jewish families as related to breast cancer and ovarian cancer, Sharsheret programs serve all women and men.
