Hi again,Setting a meeting up in zoom was not too difficult. First, to meet on zoom we need to agree on a good time for everyone to meet? then I will send the invite that same day!

I think Dana would like this as well. Any others? On April 27, 2023 at 11:59 AM Shelly Kerchner <shelly.kerch...@yahoo.com> wrote: I think that’s a wonderful idea. I’m very much interested. I am soon to be 17 years post and this would have been very helpful for me early on and quite honestly even today! it’s always great to connect with others and share our experience strength and hope!!! I have learned how to start a meeting in zoom. Just haven’t done it for a while. Currently about to start my Adaptive yoga teacher training class for the next three hours so I don’t know that I’ll be available the rest of the day, but I’ll keep checking in to see if this is something you ladies would like to do! Have a great rest of your day!

Could we start a Zoom support group? A women's group would be great also.

Weeks go by with nothing. We could provide our own best advice for people with SCI. The article was nice but was there really much you didn't already know?

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. https://newmobility.com/best-advice-for-people-with-sci-from-people-with-sci/?mc_cid=dc8e2691df&mc_eid=e1907d9c04 | | Best Advice For People with SCI From People with SCI 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.

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.
