Spinal Cord Injury PEI
Living your best life after spinal cord injury
Peer support, advocacy and practical resources for Islanders living with spinal cord injuries and other physical disabilities, and for the people who care about them.
Someone who gets it
It is important that during times of difficulty we lean on other individuals for support. Here at SCI PEI we feel it is important to have someone who ‘gets it’. That is why we offer a connection to volunteers who have been there and can provide you with support and inclusion, as well as resources to help you during these difficult times.
Our mission is to assist people with spinal cord injuries and other physical disabilities to help them achieve independence and self-reliance, and to promote full community awareness and participation.
