Ahead of our 2016 SCI Health Forum, we asked participants to answer a few key questions about mental wellbeing and SCI. Here's what you said—and what you need to know.
Connection. Nutrition. Fitness. Pain Management. Mindfulness. These tips and tricks from our 2016 SCI Mental Wellbeing Forum can change your life.
Research shows that mental and physical health are deeply intertwined. So why do we keep separating the two?
We acknowledge that our provincial work takes place on the territories of Indigenous peoples who have lived on and cared for the land for time immemorial. SCI BC’s head office, GF Strong resource centre, and shared Victoria office are located on the traditional and ancestral territory of the Coast Salish peoples – Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh, Musqueam, and Lekwungen Nations. Our Prince George regional office is on the traditional and ancestral territory of the Lheidli T’enneh Nation.

Join us for coffee & terrific conversation!
We meet up for a casual conversation over a cup of coffee or tea. Whether you’re looking for new friends, support with a new injury, or information from those who’ve “been there, done that”, there’s something for everyone of any age, experience or disability.
