According to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, nearly 1 in 50 people live with paralysis. This page has basic information for people with spinal cord injuries as they start their journey.

Support Groups

Support for people living with spinal cord injuries to share experiences, connect with the community, and learn new resources.

Peer Mentoring

Navigating your world following a spinal cord injury can be challenging or overwhelming. Our SCI peer mentor services connect you with people who can share life experiences with you in one-on-one sessions.
