Post-Traumatic Growth
Sep 25, 2025 2:00 PM EDT
After a life-changing experience like an organ transplant, many patients find themselves navigating a wide range of emotions. While the journey can be overwhelming, it can also lead to something called post-traumatic growth—positive personal changes that can emerge after trauma. This webinar will explore what post-traumatic growth is, how it might show up after transplant, and ways to support and recognize this growth in your own journey.

Past Webinars
Transplant Webinar: Transplant Dermatology
Transplant dermatology is crucial because immunosuppressive medications increase the risk of skin cancer, infections, and drug-related skin reactions in organ transplant recipients. Early detection and management by dermatologists help prevent complications and improve quality of life. Join this webinar to learn about relevant skin cancer facts and methods of detecting and preventing skin cancer.

Transplant Webinar: Social Security Disability and Organ Transplant
Transplant patients may qualify for Social Security benefits like SSDI or SSI due to recovery challenges and limited ability to work. These benefits help cover medical costs and provide financial support during recovery. They even may be eligible for up to $3,600 monthly in Social Security Disability benefits and health insurance under Medicare. Join this webinar to learn more about eligibility and the application for Social Security Disability benefits.
