Peer Support

For the first time in the history of this organisation, we are proud to announce that Limbs 4 Life has received funding to deliver and expand our flagship Peer Support Program nationally. 

At Limbs 4 Life we know the benefits that peer support can provide to people facing amputation and those who have recently undergone amputation. 

Peer support provides people (and their families):
•    The opportunity to speak to someone who has lived experience of limb loss;  
•    Help to navigate the pathways forward in relation to healthcare systems and funding support;
•    With direction and knowing what to expect; and
•    To reduce fears and concerns relating to living with amputation.

Importantly peer support provides new amputees and their family members with access to a person who has the very real experience of understanding how they may be feeling. We know this because, not only do we have the privilege of listening to the feedback of peer support recipients, but because we invested significantly in independent research to determine the impact that the Limbs 4 Life Peer Support Program has on the Australian amputee community.
