The Anapol Schwartz Family Mentorship Program

Recovery from a burn injury continues long after leaving the burn center.  Besides the Survivor Posterimportance of wound management, reconstructive surgery and therapy many people find it valuable to connect with other burn survivors.

Some people are uncomfortable with their scars and avoid going out in public.  They may become isolated, feel cut off from support systems and reluctant to make friends. 

The Anapol Schwartz Family Mentorship Program matches recent burn survivors and family members with specially trained peers who have been through the process of burn recovery. Drawing on their own experiences and successes, mentors offer a valuable perspective on burn recovery and getting the most out of your life after a burn.
