Creating a Better World for the Physically Impaired

 

 

Need your questions answered? Feeling unsure and uncertain about the future with feelings of dispair and lonliness? Then you need to contact us!

 

 

 

Also, please don't hesitate to Call Us if you are qualified and can help our peer support group! Adapting provides peer support training for qualified people. What are the objectives of peer support training?

1. It is important to have the skills and talents to put the patient or student in a more relaxed state with tactful responses to questions or comments made by the amputee.

 

2. A peer support visitor must be an excellent listener and not talk about his or her experience and understand each recovery to a thriving reintegration into society is different.

 

3. The peer support visitor must be informed sufficiently to be able to provide information for appropriate sources for information she or he may not have.

 

4. The peer support visitor must be compassionate and attentive to perceive depression or grief in the patient or student.

 

5.The qualified peer support visitor must be trained to understand all the other required aspects of the peer visitor to properly provide a beneficial service to the patient or student with limb loss. In addition, the properly trained peer support visitor must understand the importance of both post and pre amputation visits where possible to make the transition as smooth as possible.

A primary benefit for the students of the Adapting nonprofit organization is that of peer support. It is anticipated that many of Adapting's students will be individuals of recent trauma experiences. Other students and staff members shall have had such events and can share their experiences and the challenges they faced and overcame to regain a thriving reintegration into society experience.

 

Adapting is staffed and supported by personnel with an in-depth knowledge of traumatic experiences from a broad spectrum of devastating events. This knowledge shall be helpful to work with individuals feeling a sense of hopelessness and despair.

 

The staff and peer support group can help improve the mental dispair state to that of hopefulness and reasonably acceptable challenges for the student or patient.
