Mountain View: Look Good … Feel Better

A free two-hour workshop for women undergoing cancer treatment. This program helps improve the self-image, appearance, and quality of life of patients by teaching beauty techniques to help cope with the temporary appearance-related side effects of cancer treatment. This program is made possible through a collaboration of the Personal Care Products Council Foundation, the American Cancer Society, and the Professional Beauty Association/National Cosmetology Association. Group classes and one-on-one services are available, depending on the area. Please call for additional information.

Open to women cancer patients in active treatment. Registration is required. Only program participants may attend the workshop. Due to confidentiality and comfort level of the patients, as well as space restrictions, this protocol is necessary. This ensures that the participant receives full attention to gain the skills and confidence for increased independence. While this is not a standard policy, a patient may attend more than one workshop; however, she should bring her cosmetic kit with her to the additional workshop. She may not receive an additional kit. Patients with a recurrence of cancer and who are receiving another round of treatment may attend another workshop and receive a new cosmetic kit. Please register for the session at least two business days in advance.
