Peer support connects individuals living with limb loss with someone who has personal experience navigating a similar journey.

As a trained Peer Visitor through the Amputee Coalition, Shelby offers virtual peer conversations designed to provide encouragement, perspective, and connection.

Peer visits are supportive conversations—not medical consultations or therapy—and are grounded in shared lived experience.

1) New Amputees - Individuals adjusting to life after a recent amputation.

2) Preparing for Amputation - People with upcoming surgery who want to talk with someone who understands.

3) Long-Term Amputees - Individuals who have been an amputee for a long time and are seeking encouragement, community, or shared perspective.

4) Caregivers & Family - Loved ones supporting someone navigating limb loss.

Some topics often discussed include:

• adjusting to life after amputation

• emotional challenges

• navigating recovery

• returning to everyday activities

• prosthetics & mobility

• confidence & independence

• community resources

• life after limb loss
  

Every conversation is different. Some people come with questions, while others simply want to talk with someone who understands.

No. Peer support conversations through Together in Motion are completely free. These visits are offered as part of our mission to ensure that individuals navigating limb loss and limb difference have access to encouragement, connection, and community without financial barriers.
