SCI-Peers are trained volunteers who have learned to cope with their own spinal cord injuries.  The peers are available to meet with you to answer questions regarding life after a spinal cord injury.  SCI-Peers have various levels of injury, as well as various social, marital, recreational, and vocational experiences.
