Peer Support program
The Ross Tilley Burn Centre is now offering a Peer Support program, called Survivors Offering Assistance in Recovery (SOAR). SOAR connects survivors and loved ones with others who have experienced similar trauma. This support can be a powerful part of the healing process, offering empathy, encouragement, and hope. The SOAR program was developed by the Phoenix Society, a worldwide organization working to empower the burn community.
