This free second part of the 2-part webinar series will focus on sexuality. Spinal cord injuries and the reduced ability that accompany them cause many SCIs to find relationships to be challenging in new ways or doomed. Relationship status and an injury influence a person’s sexuality. Sexuality can be very influential to a person’s quality of life.
We’d like to address these practical applications toward these issues and emphasize that an injury does not have to be a reason for not pursuing/maintaining a relationship, and sexuality does not need to be
dismissed.
