Peer Support On Call - Reassurance, Understanding, and Support when you need them most.
Peer Support On Call is a free service offered by the National Bone
Marrow Transplant Link. Emotional support is available through one-on-one conversations with trained peer support volunteers who are bone marrow/stem cell tramsplant survivors, caregivers and marrow donors. Since they have been through the transplant experience themselves, they understand the patient's and caregiver's feelings and can provide an empathetic point of view.
If you would like to request a phone call from a peer support volunteer, please call our office at 800-546-5268 and ask for Cindy Goldman, or email her at cindygoldman@nbmtlink.org . Or click on the "Request Peer Support" link in the left hand column under Support Services. |
