The network connects survivors with local trauma-center programs, peer visitation, peer-support groups, educational and coping resources, survivor stories, a resource directory, pediatric resources, and guidance for emotional recovery after injury. Burn survivors may be eligible when their injury and recovery needs fall within a participating trauma or rehabilitation program.
