Enhancing Skills for Life

OUR MISSION

To educate, empower and connect those living without both arms or more.

​

OUR VISION

To use the non-profit, Enhancing Skills for Life, to financially support individuals missing at least both arms to attend the Skills for Life: Bilateral Upper Limb Loss Workshop with minimal to no cost to them. Caregivers/family members typically need to accompany those missing both arms so we hope to offset as much of the financial burden as possible. We also endeavor to provide other opportunities to socialize, share tips and tricks, and build lasting and supportive friendships within the limb loss community other than the Skills for Life Workshop. Creating these opportunities is vital as missing both arms poses unique challenges in day to day living.

OUR OBJECTIVES

• To provide a safe environment for individuals missing both arms or upper and lower limbs to connect in person;
• To provide facilities, equipment and other resources for participants to engage in the promotion and participation of events and activities regarding upper limb loss rehabilitation;
• To provide opportunities for participants to engage in recreational and social events with similar individuals;
• To sponsor, host and/or participate in events and activities that promote the rehabilitation of persons affected by bilateral upper limb loss.
