New Interactive Web Edition of Popular SCI Self-Care Guide
Paralyzed Veterans of America's Yes, You Can!, A Guide to Self-Care for Persons with Spinal Cord Injury is now available online in an expanded, updated, and interactive fourth edition.
The first few months after a spinal cord injury (SCI) are a stressful and uncertain time. Yes, You Can! is written expressly for the newly injured and is also an invaluable lifelong reference for all people with disabilities, helping them gain knowledge and confidence to address the important issues related to living with SCI.
For over two decades, Yes, You Can! has been compiled and edited by Stephen P. Burns, MD, and Margaret C. Hammond, MD, and more than 40 experts from the Seattle VA Health Care System. Having answers is central to personal care and independence for people who have SCI and the new fourth edition contains the most up-to-date information available. The popular publication is organized into four main topic areas:
How SCI Affects Your Body
Maximizing Your Function
Coping and Living with SCI
Staying Healthy after SCI
Each section covers several subtopics and concludes with a list of print, online or community resources for obtaining additional information. Yes, You Can! equips people with disabilities with essential information on how they can lead healthy, productive lives and reintegrate fully into the community.
