I agree, Danny. I’m very thankful for Jim and this group. And I also agree that there are many other options for people to connect these days. I hope you all are doing well and connecting with other people.
Ed, that New Mobility article is awesome thank you for sharing it!

I joined the list in 1998, for years this site was really busy...nowdays so many on the list have passed away, plus I guess many use other sites and things like facebook and etc. In my early years as a Quad this site and folks on it really helped me a lot, I'm glad Jim had a quad-list....i'm not sure if there are other sites for quads or not....hope you all are doing well. !

Thanks Don, all of us need support now and then. We appreciate your offer.
A lot of you probably already saw this article in new mobility. I think it's worth posting the link here because it focuses exclusively on long-term SCI. the article sounded, at least to me, as a bunch of wise quads and para sharing the benefits of their experience with people more recent to their disability. I would've liked to hear more advice specifically geared towards managing long-term disability, along the lines of many conversations on quad list. still, it was reaffirming for the magazine to simply gather people with long-term SCI-- a population that often goes overlooked or worse, is assumed not to exist at all.

When I was a newly minted T10 para, I recall a conversation with a friend who was three years post-injury, a T6 para, who had also become a mentor. He flew hang gliders, sailed, water skied…

Subject: [QUAD-L] Support groups
Hello all,
It's been very quiet in this group. I hope everyone is doing well. I think that now that the pandemic has passed things are getting back to normal, mostly.
The one silver-lining i found was that it forced us to embrace technology to maintain our social connections. I had never even heard of Zoom, and suddenly i was scheduling meetings and support groups using this new tool.
To that point, if anyone on here is ever feeling isolated please know there are online support groups you can join to get that interaction that is so important. I host a Men's Disability group via zoom every Thursday at 4pm AZ time. I'm sure there are other groups out there as well.
If anyone is interested feel free to email me directly: d...@ability360.org
Best wishes to you all,
Don.
