Regional Affiliate Chapters, Support Groups and State Resources

The National Spinal Cord Injury Association has chapters, support groups and developing chapters throughout the United States. Some members have physical disabilities while others do not.

Members participate in a variety of activities. They work with local and national officials and agencies to develop programs and services and act as community advocates for improved access, housing, transportation, employment, and leisure time activities for disabled people.

Chapters and support groups provide peer support and other services. These are fundamental aspects of living that 500,000 people with spinal cord injuries or diseases must cope with after they have been rehabilitated and have returned to community life.

We encourage you to contact the local NSCIA affiliate in your area, and become involved with them.

If you cannot find a support group in your area, why not start your own. Contact the National Office for assistance on our business line (301) 588-6959 or our Helpline: (800) 962-9629.
