Unfortunately, you are not alone. Even though it is estimated that 80-percent of burn injuries and deaths are preventable, burn injuries continue to remain one of the leading causes of childhood injury in the United States – 250,000 children are injured and more than 1,000 die each year as a result of burn trauma.
Burn injuries can devastate adults and children. Unlike other injuries, burn injuries linger, leaving a permanent reminder. People who suffer a severe burn often must undergo both physical and psychological healing to return to their everyday lives. The Burn Institute understands the unique nature of a burn injury and provides many different burn survivor support programs to help burn survivors cope with their injuries.
