He or she is a direct link to community resources that offer practical assistance and support. Transplant social workers are experts in helping transplant patients and their families understand and cope with chronic illness and transplantation.
Transplant social workers provide counseling and psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families, with the goal of helping you make positive changes in your life. In addition, support groups are available as an open forum for you to learn about your disease and the transplant process.
