Finding resources for spinal cord injury can be difficult when you don’t know where to look. The aftermath of a spinal cord injury can often be devastating for both the patient and their loved ones. You may not have had previous contact or experience with the disabled community, don’t know who to reach out to for help, or are struggling to learn caretaker responsibilities or adjust to navigating daily life with an SCI.
You are not alone. These organizations can help you reach out to your peers, connect with medical professionals, research assistive technologies, and gain the support structure you need to adapt to your injury.
