About
Spinal Cord Injury BC helps people with spinal cord injuries and related disabilities and their families adjust, adapt, and thrive as they deal with a new injury or struggle with the ongoing challenges of living and aging with a physical disability. Through our two core programs (Peer Support and Information Services) we provide answers, social connections, educational opportunities and unique experiences.
Our Impact
We help transform lives by providing experiences and expertise for people living with spinal cord injury (SCI). Our Peer Support Program provides meaningful connections between members with similar disabilities. Newly injured people learn skills from their peers that help build the knowledge and confidence they need to get their lives back, while others may share personal experiences about living with a physical disability or attend life-changing events throughout the province. Our Information Services is equipped with SCI-specific websites, an online database of over 800 SCI resources, and a toll-free InfoLine that is available five days a week to answer questions about living well with an SCI. Whether people are searching for accessible housing, employment, specialized equipment, government resources or counselling – we can help. With support from SCI BC, people living with SCI can achieve independence, self-reliance and participate more fully in their communities. Here are people whose lives have been transformed through our programs and services.
