Emotional impact of spinal cord injury (SCI) on the family- Spinal Injuries Association factsheet
When a family member sustains a spinal cord injury (SCI), the news can shock their loved ones, bringing feelings of distress, helplessness and a general sense of sadness. Suddenly having a family member who has sustained a SCI can cause a wide range of emotions, including anxiety about the future, the extent of the relative’s disability and how the family will manage. This factsheet, produced by Spinal Injuries Association, explores these areas and offers advice and signposting.
The Spinal Injuries Association has a range of factsheets on topics relating to spinal cord injury; these can be downloaded via our website at https://www.spinal.co.uk
