Thandi After Burn Support and what it means
“healing hands” has a dual meaning. It means us, the organisation and also as part of our mission, healing hands physically
“hearts” is the emotional component of burn survivors as well as of their care givers, parents, spouses, siblings et.al
“voices” implies using not only our voice to inform but also that of burn survivors’ to assist the healing process
through
Re-creation and the Expressive Arts
which
markedly increases the quality of burn survivors lives by engaging them emotionally, cognitively, physically and spiritually. Being immersed in the creative processes of the expressive Arts and therapeutic recreational activities and reflecting on these processes, burn survivors can increase their awareness of self and others, cope with stress, reduce anxiety and increase self esteem, while enjoying life enhancing effects and a sense of well being (Arts for Healing).
