Patricia Draper, MSW, LCSW, Program Director of the Transplant Mentors program at Gift of Life joins us on Transplant Radio from the World Transplant Congress in San Francisco, CA. With a background in clinical social work and years of experience supporting transplant patients, Patricia shares how mentorship can profoundly shape the transplant journey, from evaluation through recovery. She explains how the Transplant Mentors program connects recipients, living donors, and caregivers with trained volunteers who offer the kind of insight only someone who has “walked the walk” can provide. Patricia emphasizes the importance of thoughtful matching, pairing mentees with mentors based not just on medical conditions, but on personality, coping styles, and life motivations. She also explores the deeply existential nature of transplantation, addressing the complex emotions of guilt, hope, and gratitude that often accompany the experience.
