Mind Over Limits: Disability, Identity, & Mental Health | SCIO Peer Connections

Spinal Cord Injury Ontario

Living with a spinal cord injury transforms not only the body—but also the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and our mental health. This interactive one-hour webinar explores how identity, resilience, and emotional well-being intersect for people navigating life with a disability. Whether you’re newly injured, living with long-term disability, or supporting someone who is, this session offers practical tools and real-talk insights from lived experience. Together, we’ll explore:
  • How disability can shape—and strengthen—our identity
  • Common mental health challenges after SCI
  • Tools to cope with stress, grief, and isolation
  • How to build a life of purpose, connection, and possibility
  • Why peer support is a powerful path to healing
Join us for an hour of meaningful connection, validation, and encouragement. You are not alone—and your mind is more powerful than you think.
