Spinal Cord Injury Peer Mentor Program

The SCI Peer Mentor Program strives to match newly injured patients with a person in the community who has successfully adjusted to living with a spinal cord injury. Peer mentors have similar life experience, providing opportunity for exchange of information, support, encouragement, and advocacy. A peer mentor may be requested during the inpatient rehabilitation stay at either UWMC or HMC, and will be arranged by the Peer Coordinator and the Rehabilitation Psychologist.
