Support Groups

A major barrier to full recovery is the mental and psychological experiences that people impacted by burn injuries have to overcome. Many do not understand, but there is a strong community through The Children's Burn Foundation that meets to support one another. Facilitated by train professionals, we provide access to a unique community that allows burn survivors to speak openly about their experiences and be completely understood by peers.
