SCI & Mental Health Webinar – Identity Shift: Reclaiming Mental Health After SCI
How do we rebuild a sense of self after everything changes?
Following the success of our first webinar on SCI & Mental Health with Dr. H’Sien Hayward, we are following up with another presentation.
In this insightful and engaging 1-hour webinar, NorCal SCI Board Member Mia Natalia shares her personal journey of navigating life after a spinal cord injury - and how it reshaped her mental health, identity, and sense of purpose. What begins as a story of survival becomes a powerful message about the internal shifts required to truly thrive.
