OVERVIEW
Many individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) rely on a family caregiver – often a partner or spouse – for long-term support. The impact of SCI on spousal relationships can affect health and well-being, as both partners need to adapt to new stressors and roles. Access to support for couples coping with SCI is largely lacking. To fill this need, we have created an online program called SupportGroove.
This study is currently closed for recruitment. Please check back for new opportunities soon.
