Arizona burn foundation assesses the needs of the burn survivor and their family and creates a care plan appropriate for them. The foundation may provide durable medical equipment, prescription payment, lodging for return clinic visits or financial assistance with rent, utilities or food if this need is not met by other means. For long term needs, the foundation will refer clients to other agencies, helping a family through the process of completing paperwork and requirements for those agencies. As part of recovery care, the foundation also offers programming for burn survivors and their families to help them in their journey to hope and wellness. This includes the foundation's camps and retreats programs: camp courage, arizona's children's burn camp, held each summer for young burn survivors aged 6-20; family camp, to address the needs of preschool burn survivors, their parents and siblings; young adult retreat, a retreat for burn survivors aged 18-25; and, adult burn survivor retreat, for both burn survivors and teir caretakers.
