Autonomy, Belonging, and Competence are known as the three Universal Basic Needs essential to all humans for proper functioning and well-being.
Why
The abrupt lifestyle changes that occur following a traumatic injury deplete these foundational needs which can lead to feelings of hopelessness and depression.
How
TSN Peer Support Officers help members address these lifestyle changes in order to develop new ways for meeting their basic needs as they prepare to re-enter society.
We are a network of Peer Support Specialists who support, mentor, and provide information to survivors of traumatic injuries to help them improve their health and well-being and prepare them to not merely survive as newly disabled members of society, but to thrive.”
