NSCIA CT State-Wide Support Groups
Spinal cord injured people encounter other problems beyond the physical symptoms.
Spinal cord injury affects social, emotional, vocational, and economic aspects of
living. Coping with the stigma of being disabled, barriers to employment opportunities,
expressing sexuality, and other social and personal issues are a major part of living
with a spinal cord injury. Many individuals feel the need to discuss these topics
with others that possess similar injuries.
As a service to persons with spinal cord injury or disease, the NSCIA Connecticut
Chapter provides support group meetings. Our support groups allow individuals the
opportunity to discuss a variety of topics with other's that have a spinal cord
injury. Support group meetings are held at many area hospitals and independent living
centers throughout the state of Connecticut. Support groups are organized and run
by NSCIA CT Chapter member volunteers. Currently support groups are located at :
