Support after a Spinal Cord Injury
How can the SIA help
The Spinal Cord Injury Association (SIA) serves as an invaluable resource for all individuals impacted by spinal cord injuries (SCI). Its role is to swiftly connect these individuals to a broad network of individuals, organisations, and services that can help them lead rich and fulfilling lives. Spinal cord injuries, which alter a person's life every four hours, cause a dramatic shift in their lives and those of their families.
Both the National Health Service and private spinal cord injury centres initiate the journey of recovery for those recently injured. Subsequently, SIA offers continued guidance throughout this process. Their comprehensive approach to assisting people with SCI and their families encompasses providing the necessary time, expertise, and connections that are crucial in paving the way towards a satisfying life.
SIA's UK-wide team of support coordinators and specialist nurses, all with personal experiences of living with spinal cord injuries, offer invaluable support and advice. They are equipped to help you identify the services that are best suited for you, ranging from trusted legal services to counseling and financial advice.
