Peer Mentoring

We are the SCIboston fka Greater Boston Chapter of United Spinal Association. We are comprised of individuals affected by a spinal cord injury or disorders (SCI/D) including family members, loved ones, healthcare associates and many more. From the moment of injury, we offer hope through one-on-one support, understanding, and guidance. No other entity provides this depth of support. We work to Reach, Inspire, Support and Empower all those affected by an SCI/D through our nationally recognized Peer Visitation Program. Staff members and trained volunteers, who have successfully navigated post SCI/D life, serve as mentors to help the newly injured, and their families’ to better understand what happened, transition back into the community and meet their goals of leading a fulfilling life.

SCIboston was founded in 1992 by several individuals affected by spinal cord injury.
