Materials and information are made available to the community in order to help their family and friends avoid burn injuries. This resource library addresses two of the major areas of burn which are prevention and treatment. Prevention is so important and often overlooked. It is vital that a family be proactive in preventing their family from harm. This resource provides excellent materials that will allow you to keep your loved ones safe. Burn first aid is an invaluable resource to know and understand because the first few moments after a burn injury are extremely critical. The treatment section of this resource library describes first aid, severity of burns and when you should contact a physician.
Recovery from a burn injury continues long after leaving the hospital burn center. Some people are uncomfortable with their looks and avoid going out in public. Some become isolated and feel cut off from their support systems. The Anapol Schwartz Family Mentorship Program matches recent burn survivors and family members with more experienced survivor peers. Drawing on their own experiences, specially trained volunteers provide information and support to burn survivors and family members just going through the process. Please contact us for more information or you may download an application or descriptive brochure.
