SCI NL Peer Grub Club

Each month Spinal Cord Injury Newfoundland and Labrador host a Peer Support Event at the Dr. Leonard A. Miller Centre for Individuals currently in Rehabilitation, their Families and Individuals with A Spinal Cord Injury who have integrated back in to the community. The Event is filled willed with great conversation about life after a spinal cord injury including an opportunity to share experiences with someone who has been there, ask questions, develop a relationship with others who have and are going through the same changes and most importantly there is food and good times as well.

If you are an individual with a Spinal Cord Injury who is currently in rehabilitation or have transitioned back into the community and would like to attend by yourself or with your family, please contact Dion Regular (Peer Support Specialist) at dregular@sci-nl.ca or by phone at (709) 753-5901 to get information on the next meeting.

This event is possible thanks to the efforts of the Spinal Cord Injury NL Foundation who through their Ticket Draw Campaigns raise funds for Spinal Cord Injury NL to hold events of this nature. We would also like to thanks the individuals and businesses who have stepped in to fund one of these events so far:

Mary Brown’s
Sheilagh Byrne, Real Estate Professional at Royal LePage
Forsey Electrical
Monroe House Executive Guest Home
Fraize Law

If you are a business who would be interesting in sponsoring one of these events in the future, please contact Michael Burry (Executive Director) at mburry@sci-nl.ca or by phone at (709) 753-5901 for more information.
