Life With Spinal Cord Injuries or Related Disabilities (SCI/D)
If you are an individual with a spinal cord injury or related disability and are seeking to connect with others who are going through the same experiences, this group is for you! Open to individuals of all ages. Participants under the age of 18 will need a parent/guardian present.
Join your peers to discuss topics relating to your injury, share information and resources, and partake in various recreation and social activities that will help you better adjust to life with a spinal cord injury or related disability and become more independent.
The group meets on different days and at various times each month depending on the host group. Host groups are: The Whole Person, the Greater Kansas City Spinal Cord Injury Association and MidAmerica Rehabilitation Hospital.
