Peer Program

What does the Peer Program do?

The SCI BC Provincial Peer Program provides social connections, educational opportunities, and unique life experiences to individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI), their family and friends.

A spinal cord injury is devastating. Adjusting to life in a wheelchair is challenging and people can become isolated, inactive, depressed and unaware of opportunities available to them. The SCI BC Peer Program helps people with SCI overcome these challenges and thrive.

Central to the SCI BC Peer Program is the Peer Program Coordinators. Peer Program Coordinators offer the newly injured, people with SCI and their families, friendship, support and information on living with a spinal cord injury.
