The Spinal Cord Injury Support Group is a support group that is designed to
help anyone who has permanent disabilities from a spinal cord injury as well
as their families. As a part of the group you have the opportunity to share
your experiences with others who have faced the same or similar problems or
listen to an expert in the field discuss the latest in treatment options or
adaptive equipment designed to increase functional independence.
 |
As with any life changing event you can often find comfort and hope by joining
with others who can understand your personal experience. The problems of people
diagnosed with spinal cord injuries are vast and can be better met with the
support of others. As a group we try to find ways to heal our lives after being
changed by injury or disease. The group is also designed to include family
members in the healing process. |
You can learn more about our group by contacting Angie Dadfar at (419)
226-9765. Or you can just come to our group to see what it is like.
There is no cost and you can participate as much as you would like. We look
forward to meeting you.
The Spinal Cord Injury Support Group is held the second Thursday of every
month in March through November. The meetings are at 7:00 p.m. at St. Rita's
E7 Rehabilitation Dinning Room.
