Peer Support & Mentoring Program

Life with SCI/D

This group covers all things spinal cord injury and related disabilities, sharing helpful info and resources, and gets together for fun activities.

Join Us!

Living with a spinal cord injury or related disability presents unique challenges and opportunities. At The Whole Person, our Life with SCI/D group fosters a vibrant community where individuals of all ages can connect, share experiences, and discover valuable resources.

We believe in empowering independence through peer support and engaging recreational activities, creating a space for mutual understanding and growth. Whether you’re navigating daily life or seeking new ways to thrive, this group offers a supportive environment for individuals and families impacted by SCI/D. (Participants under 18 require a parent/guardian.)
