This panel-plus-videos course presents “Voices of Experience,” a new 10-part video series for people with new spinal cord injuries that features people who have been living with spinal cord injuries for years. It was specifically created for distribution on the Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems in-hospital TV networks, and is available online at no cost.

Learning Objectives:

Discover techniques for using an easily accessible video and internet resource with SCI patients.
Discuss new ways to open conversations about emotionally-laden subjects with newly injured SCI patients.
Analyze the value of virtual peer mentoring via filmed self-disclosures— why and how does it work?
