Meet BSONE's Intern
Pam comes to us from Lesley University prompted by her participation with the BSONE Peer Support Group, BFFBF Jingle Bell Ball and a"Movement as Therapy" session at PWBC 2019. She is diligently working on Social Connections, this website and learning about how she can help Burn Survivors with complementary therapies such as Movement as Therapy and other artistic forms of emotional therapies. She is willing to do one-on-one or group sessions.
