Health Education & Training

At Transitions, we teach participants how to prevent and treat their own pressure ulcers.

 
   Life Skills

We show them techniques to lessen pressure and prevent skin breakdown, how to prevent infection as well as provide them with access to donated medicines and supplies.

We encourage proper nutrition and teach the importance of taking responsibility for one’s health. Additionally, we provide educational programs in urological and sexual functions and distribute product donations of urological equipment and supplies. When necessary, participants also receive medical treatment abroad for closure of pressure ulcers, corrective surgery, and bladder complications. All of our patients have shown dramatic improvement in their health thanks to these medical interventions.
