Burn Survivors Support Group for Patients and Families

You are not alone in your recovery – we offer burn survivors and their families ongoing strength, support, and understanding.

Our free burn survivors support group offers a place to socialize and talk about concerns and issues related to your injuries. Burn survivors join our burn psychologist in facilitating the meetings. Many of our patients continue to attend Burn Survivors Support Group meetings long after they have completed their care, rehabilitation, and reconstruction.
