Empowering Young Women Through Early Detection: A Partnership with Jeune et Rose
Who is Jeune et Rose?
We are a national network of young patients who help each other, share, and relay prevention messages. Our network is supported by our ambassadors, mostly who are patients sharing our values of solidarity, mutual aid and the determination to raise awareness among young women and health professionals, because cancer concerns us at all ages.
Our three main projects are…
Accompanying young women affected by the disease during physical and virtual meetings to offer support
Raising awareness of breast cancer, self-examination and the 12 symptoms of breast cancer among young people and women outside the healthcare system.
Raising awareness among healthcare professionals on the issues facing young women affected by breast cancer.
The partnership with Know Your Lemons is essential for our activities, as it enables us to effectively raise awareness for the young people we target with a clear, educational medium.
About the Founders of Jeune et Rose
Created in April 2017, Jeune & Rose was born from the meeting of two young women, Christelle and Mélanie, in the corridors of the hospital in Bordeaux while they were both in the midst of fighting breast cancer.
At 32 and 31 years old respectively, these young mothers faced the illness with many questions and concerns related to their social and family situation. Together they created Jeune & Rose. Today, many volunteers – all patients or former patients – have joined the ranks.
