Family members of someone who sustains a spinal cord injury can find a great deal of support, information and relief through peer support. They can talk with someone who has found ways to deal with similar physical, emotional and financial challenges.
If you are a family member of someone who has sustained an SCI, we can arrange for you to meet with a Family Peer Mentor who can relate to your experience and support you through the process and any challenges you’re facing.
SCIO has created an eight-week series of informative sessions to help family members deal with the new challenges of supporting a loved one with a spinal cord injury. From coping with grief and stress to navigating all the resources available, we will be your guide in this new world.
The goal is to help family members feel empowered to care for themselves and their loved ones, and to be armed with the knowledge and tools they need to be successful for this. It is also an opportunity to connect with others and draw upon the power of shared experiences.
Our services are free to registered clients of SCIO.
