Webinar 2/12: New
Opportunities for Youth with Limb Loss in 2020
ACL’s National Limb Loss Resource center will be hosting a
webinar about the Amputee Coalition’s Paddy Rossbach Youth Camp. This event
is a six-day, traditional summer camp experience for youth ages 10-17 with
limb loss/limb difference. Campers are challenged to increase their
independence, test themselves, and build new friendships through fun and
exciting activities in a caring and supportive environment
In this webinar, presenters talk about the Amputee Coalition’s
annual summer camp program, youth and family training opportunities, as
well as the new Youth Con coming in 2020.
Young people living with limb loss and limb difference have
many opportunities available for being part of the community. Visit the Amputee Coalition website for more
information.
The mission of the National Limb Loss Resource Center
(operated by the Amputee Coalition) is to reach out to and
empower people affected by limb loss to achieve their full potential
through education, support, advocacy, and the promotion of limb loss
prevention. The National Limb Loss Resource Center programs use both
traditional and innovative approaches to educate and inform people with
limb loss, their family members, health care providers, policy makers,
community members, and the general public about limb loss and limb
difference. Resources include information and referral by phone and email,
support groups and peer support, educational events, and a national
website.
