Spinal Cord Injury and Mental Health: Challenges & Solutions - WEBINAR
Dr. H’Sien Hayward – who lives with a SCI herself – will host the upcoming webinar on May 7th
There is no doubt that mental and physical health are directly linked. Yet, we know that following their spinal cord injuries, many people do not prioritize their mental health and that this can have devastating impacts in their short and long-term rehabilitation prospects and general health.
NorCal SCI is proud to host our first ever webinar addressing mental health following spinal cord injury.
Join Dr. H'Sien Hayward, psychologist and spinal cord injured wheelchair user, and Northern California resident, as she addresses SCI and mental health. She will share common challenges and effective treatment options. Dr. Hayward will also teach some basic psychological tools and strategies that can be used to improve anyone's mental health. Q&A and discussion to follow.
Wednesday, May 7th
4pm - 530pm on Zoom
