Degenerative Physical Disabilities Peer Chat

July 28 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm MDT

Connect with peers who have degenerative spinal cord injuries and
other degenerative physical disabilities. This peer support group is open
to people with worsening non-traumatic spinal cord injuries and spinal
degeneration (e.g., related to a previous spinal injury, cancer, genetic
conditions, hypermobility, neurodegenerative conditions like MS and
neuromuscular conditions like muscular dystrophy).

Find peer support with adapting to ongoing loss and changing abilities, where goals may be more about maintaining function or slowing progression than returning to pre-injury/disability self. This allows for a space to discuss matters related to living with progressive and/or fluctuating mobility impairments, and to connect with peers who face similar challenges.

Monday July 28 at 4pm-6pm (in person or virtual)

Joining the peer chat:
-In-person at SCI Alberta Edmonton Office(400-11010 101 Street)
-Online on Microsoft Teams video call(RSVP for link)

We acknowledge that what we call Alberta is the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Metis Homeland. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations, and the harm and suffering they have endured. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside, and wish to take actions towards authentic allyship.
