Caring for Her is Be The Difference Foundation’s innovative program to improve the quality of life of ovarian cancer patients and their caregivers. Caring for Her provides access to individualized professional counseling, patient education, vetted referrals and science-based resources through Clearity Foundation’s Steps Through OC program. Be The Difference Foundation initiated this innovative collaboration in 2020 with Mary Crowley Cancer Research and The Clearity Foundation to provide women with virtual psychosocial support while on clinical trials. The program has been expanded in 2021 to include all women under-going treatment for ovarian and/or their caregivers.
For nearly a decade, Be the Difference Foundation has supported The Clearity Foundation’s mission to improve the survival and quality of life of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer. In 2018, The Clearity Foundation launched Steps Through OC, an online personalized ovarian cancer support program, for women and their families. Steps Through OC provides individualized professional counseling, patient education, vetted referrals and science-based resources that augment psychosocial services offered by health systems, cancer centers, peer groups and advocacy organizations.
In 2023, Be The Difference Foundation will be creating and distributing Bags of Hope to ovarian cancer patients undergoing treatment. The Bags of Hope will provide comfort and support items as well as information on how to enroll in Steps Through OC.
