Dr. Branka Bjelica, psychiatrist, especially emphasized the importance of mental health and support, which is needed by every woman who has been diagnosed with some form of malignant disease. The workshop was attended by about 20 women of various ages, who at the end of the workshop said that they found the workshop interesting and useful.

This was also a way to remember and mark October 24, the Day of the fight against breast cancer.
