Virtual forum to address “Parents of individuals with SCI” on Nov. 19

When an individual acquires a spinal cord injury, it has an impact on the entire family. Parents have to quickly learn to navigate the confusing world of medical care, health insurance, caregiving and financial strain when their child is diagnosed with a SCI. BACKBONES PeerConnect is a program offering monthly online meetups for people in the spinal cord injury and disease (SCI/D) community looking to connect with their peers. On Thurs., Nov. 19th at 4 p.m. PST, parents who have children with SCI (of all ages) are invited to participate in this forum. Their informal chat will offer a space to learn from and support other parents going through the ups and downs that come with SCI and you’re invited to attend this virtual event by registering HERE.

Whether you have many years post injury, or if you are new to the community, PeerConnect is a great way to meet others, share your story, and learn from other people with similar experiences to you.
