Network
We are proud to offer a 100% free mentoring program for any amputee and their friends and family. It is always important for the patient to surround themselves with people who will support and challenge them, while offering a sympathetic, and sometimes empathetic, ear. We provide peer counseling before and after amputation, including prosthetists and like-minded fellow amputees. Here are other links you may find helpful.
