Burn Institute

In 2021 the Burn Institute has already helped 12 individual burn survivors and their families cope with their injuries and trauma while assisting in their recov...er needs. This includes 4 survivors we assisted in obtaining much needed compression garments to help with scar minimization, itchiness, and tingling. To see all the ways we support burn survivors, from helping access meaningful medical devices to offering empowering opportunities through outings, retreats, and group meetings for mental and physical healing, visit our resource page - https://burninstitute.org/burn-survivor-programs/
