Adventure holiday takes off the heat

Article Abstract:

Children being treated at the St Andrew's Centre burns service in Billericay, England, have been given the opportunity to participate in a special summer camp. This is designed to offer a partially protected environment where the children can be helped to come to terms with the psychological impact of burn injuries. The environment allows children to build up the necessary confidence to deal with how other people, especially adults, may react to the injuries.
