CHANGE - The Behaviors

ChangedByFire-H.E.A.L.

Changed by Fire is a local Arizona 501c3 non-profit that is actively involved in growing support opportunities for burn survivors and their families. We strongly believe that building a community of healing, understanding, and connection, we empower the burn community to not only survive - but live and thrive - through life after a burn. Changed by Fire works alongside other organizations in healing, recognizing that it truly does take a village, and a variety of supports to navigate the burn injury. Through community outreach events like our annual Arizona Walk of Courage, provision of garments and massage and healing supports, and connection to a variety of alternative therapies post injury, Changed by Fire is growing the social, emotional, and mental wellness of the burn community, in addition to the physical wellness our hospital partners support.

H.E.A.L. Is a podcast developed by Changed by Fire, to assist in the Healing, Empowering, Accepting, and Living change processes encountered in a burn and trauma injury. The vision of this podcast is to support burn survivors, family members, community partners, and all impacted- changed - by fire. The hosts of this podcast have been involved for multiple years in the burn community: Julie’s mother lost her life to a burn injury, and Lori has worked for years as a burn community advocate and social worker in trauma settings. Through H.E.A.L., our aim is to share further about the change process of a severe injury, the avenues of healing to support internal and external needs, and to provide a community of knowledge, connection, and understanding.. This podcast will be a resource to help burn and trauma survivors reclaim safety in the recovery process, find moments of satisfaction in the journey, and lean into connection possible in being and feeling seen and heard. Let’s get H.E.A.L.ing!
