Good afternoon everyone,

Hope you’re all keeping safe and well during this current situation.  Just a reminder to let you all know that the Adult Burn Support UK weekly online burn support Live Chat, funded by Dan’s Fund for Burns, continues to be available every Wednesday evening, 7.30-9.00pm.   

We have now completed 2 Moderator Training Workshops led by a member of the Psychological Therapies Team from Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford.  We now have 5 burn survivors trained as volunteer Moderators with a further 3-4 to be trained soon.   Each week a burn survivor acts as the Moderator making the Live Chat a good online burn peer support option.

The Live Chat provides a safe platform for burn survivors or anyone affected by burns to connect, share experiences, discuss any concerns they may be having in relation to burns and mutually support each other.   Users must complete a one-time registration and then login and join the chat on a Wednesday evening.  More information can be found by following this link, https://adultburnsupportuk.org/live-chat/ .

Please share this information with your burns team.  We also have 2-sided leaflets with information on the Live Chat and Dan’s Fund for Burns.  Please let me know if you would like to receive some leaflets.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Stay safe.

Kind regards,
Jennifer Fitt
