WHAT IS TURNING POINT?

Turning Point is an exciting health and wellness program designed for breast cancer patients and survivors, made possible by local grants and funding from the Strong Kids Strong Communities annual campaign of the Jackson YMCA.

The program is for breast cancer patients and survivors and supports their physical and emotional health to reduce the side effects of cancer treatment and to improve their long-term quality of life.

Class activities focus on stress reduction, increased physical functioning, lowering levels of fatigue, and improving quality of life.

Activities take place in a supportive group environment under the guidance of trained instructors.

PROGRAM DETAILS:

The Turning Point classes are free for all breast cancer survivors regardless of when the participant was diagnosed. Survivors within 5 years of diagnosis are eligible to receive a free membership to the Jackson YMCA for 1 year upon registering for the Turning Point program.
