March 25 | Topic: Managing Depression & Anxiety with Jane Fayer
Jane Fayer is a burn survivor who just had her three-year burnaversary in October 2023. Anxiety and sometimes depression have been a part of her life since her burn injury. Through talking to other survivors, reading, and therapy, she has developed a toolkit that has helped her. Jane will share what has helped her and looks forward to an interactive discussion on March 25th!
Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors played a large role in Jane's recovery, and she is a trained Phoenix SOAR Peer Supporter. Jane frequently moderates the Phoenix Wednesday evening Facebook Peer Support Chats and tries not to miss the monthly Phoenix Zoom Support Groups. Additionally, Jane has been working in the pharmaceutical industry in a variety of clinical development positions for the last 25 years. She is currently a consultant specializing in contracts for outsourced clinical trials.
At the beginning of each support group, basic ground rules will be shared to create a supportive setting. We also ask that everyone acknowledge understanding that this group is focused on peer support for burn survivors and their loved ones, and is not a substitute for local emotional support.
