16.01.2022 During Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Week 2020, the PQSA focus was Slips, Trips & Falls awareness and prevention. You may have heard our campaign on Nova 919 and FIVEaa to reach more people in the community about hazards around the home, which can cause Spinal Cord Injury. Peter Stewart, PQSA CEO and Vicky Machen, Peer Support Advocate were interviewed on 5AA, shining a light on the major causes of Spinal Cord Injury - slips, trips and falls. Click here to hear Peter and Vicky talking to Tony on 5AA! https://pqsa.asn.au/spinal-cord-injury-awareness-week

15.01.2022 "Yes, the pandemic has also exacerbated aspects of my health conditions. The sensory overload of two children stuck at home 24/7 is inescapable and exhausting, and the extra load of home schooling adds more pressure to our days. But overall, the supports I and my family have built into our lives to support my disability have proven to be some of the most useful factors in finding our way through these challenging times." Do you feel like your existing resilience helped you manage during COVID-19?
