How Extra Toughs Works

The Extra Toughs program includes 12-week wellness cohorts. Cohorts provide exercise, nutrition, and counseling to participants. Although we encourage enrolling at the beginning of a cohort, women are able to join at any time during the year. Extra Toughs members pay a monthly fee to participate.

Offered over zoom, these sessions are a chance to connect with other women survivors. Max group size is 8 women per counseling session. Your sessions will be with the same women throughout your cohort.
