Does momming on wheels have you feeling stressed out or overwhelmed? Do you ever wish you could talk with other “wheelie mamas” who GET it? Are you a wheelchair user who is curious about or planning to become a mother and looking for some guidance or resources? Then join NorCal SCI's new session, Wheel Good Motherhood, hosted by Lindsay Ulrey, a mother of two boys, as she hosts this safe and supportive space for wheelchair users to connect, share resources and learn from each other. This monthly group will be held virtually on the third Tuesday at noon via Zoom. Register once HERE for all the sessions.

Join us on the first and third Tuesday of the month at 4pm PST for an hour of chatter, connection and networking among our SCI caregivers.

Hosted by Robin, Tricia and Jenn, we look forward to getting to know you and helping with any caregiving questions you might have.
