Building a successful support group for post-amputation patients.

The purpose of this article is to identify five steps to attain a successful amputee support group and share the process for establishing and maintaining a peer visitation program for in-patient amputees. Whatever the cause, losing a limb is a life-changing event that one should not go through alone. Support groups can assist patients and their families through this transition in a positive and healthy way.
