Virtual Support Groups
All of our Support Groups are currently virtual
Join us for any of SCIboston’s virtual support groups that meet your needs as an individual or family member impacted by a spinal cord injury or disorder. Our virtual support groups offer opportunities for questions, open discussion, support, resources, and more. All of our facilitators are trained SCIboston Peer Mentors who are there to structure the meeting, guide conversation, and help meet the needs of attendees. We want our attendees to feel comfortable and know that any level of participation is welcomed, even if you would just like to listen. No need to RSVP, meeting links are the same each week.
If you have any questions regarding Support Groups, want to know which group might be a good fit for you, or would like more information, please contact SCIboston’s Community Involvement Coordinator, Heidi Estrada at heidi@sciboston.org
To receive weekly email reminders and Zoom links for our support groups, be sure to sign up for our mailing list here!
Our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Access, and Belonging (DEIAB) statement can be found here.
