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 pre or post amputee.
2.
A peer support visitor must be an excellent listener and not talk
about his or her experience and understand each recovery is different
for patient reintegration into society..
3.
The peer support visitor must be informed sufficiently to be able
to provide information for appropriate interaction with the patient
or student.
4.
The peer support visitor must be compassionate and attentive to
perceive depression, grief or suicidal tendencies in the patient
or student. The peer support individual must know when to contact
qualified trained specialist to help the new amputee or care receiver.
He
must understand his or her role to be helpful to the impending or
new amputee.
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 or
impending 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 when
asked, 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 to improve the mental dispair
state to that of hopefulness and reasonably acceptable challenges
for the student or patient. They can help and guide an individualbut
not make decxisions for the patient.
You
can help students and care receivers achieve success. Learn how
by calling us today!
Remember,
as an amputee, always massage your extremities . This is very important
to avoid revisions to your amputation. Don't forget this and don't
think it is not important.
Always
think health, safety, and exercise!
Remember,
don't take cleanliness of equipment & stumps for granted either.
It's very important to follow your doctor's instructions.
Again,
remember focus your thought on recovery and not on the amputation.
You can still achieve most things you want to do. If you need help,
don't hesitate to contact us, your PCP, your prosthestist or any
other peer support group.
Don't
let yourself get into a rut- OK?
Focus
on recovery and healing- think positive- you can do it!
