The Anapol Schwartz Family Mentorship Program
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.
