Spinal Home Help – Gold Coast Connect Group
If you live on the Gold Coast and are struggling to adjust to life after spinal cord injury or just want someone to talk to, support is only around the corner.
The connect group will run in the 3rd week of each month. On the Monday, the group will be for people with spinal cord injury only, to create a space that is patient-focused and aimed at sharing experiences dealing with an SCI from a personal perspective. On the Wednesday, the group will provide a welcoming space for spouses, family and friends to discuss their struggles and knowledge of experiencing a spinal cord injury second hand, to ask questions and to spend time with fellow carers.
SHH would like to thank Lourens and Julie-Anne very kindly for their generosity in running the networking group and tirelessly working out in the community to support people with spinal cord injury and their families.
Please see here for a complete calendar of dates: http://spinalhomehelp.com.au/event-detail/
For more information, to register your interest in the networking group and to get the address, please contact Julie or Lourens directly at [email protected] or [email protected]
If you require one-to-one professional counselling, please contact Lourens directly.
