Spinal Cord Injury Counselling

The Spinal Cord Injury Association have launched a Counselling Service

This free service provides support to SCI people and members of their family with any issues affecting their mental health and well-being. These could be directly related to the current situation or more generally to aspects such as relationship difficulties, issues around SCI or other things that you don’t feel able to talk through with your family or friends.

Paragon Home Healthcare provides specialist live-in care and assistance to people who have sustained a spinal cord injury at any point throughout life.

The impact of a spinal cord injury can be life-changing and we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to live with independence and fulfilment in their own homes and with access to high-quality specialist assistance or care.
