The National Paralysis Resource Center (PRC) — operated by the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation — is hosting a webinar about the Peer & Family Support Program, which provides free peer mentoring to individuals living with paralysis and their family members and caregivers through a nationwide network of trained and certified mentors.
Peer support can provide vital benefits to patients with paralysis during an inpatient stay, the return home, and outpatient treatment. This webinar will introduce health care professionals to the program and explain how they can access peer support for their patients with paralysis. Topics to be covered include an overview of the program, who its mentors are, how to refer a patient to be mentored, and the patient-mentor matching process. There will be time at the end of the webinar for audience questions.
The webinar will be recorded and shared via email to all registrants and available on the Reeve Foundation’s YouTube channel.
This webinar is free and live captioning will be available. Contact Rebecca Sultzbaugh with questions.
