Webinar: Men and
Aging with Paralysis
Tuesday, June 29, at 3:00 PM ET
Register for the webinar.
The National Paralysis Resource Center is hosting a webinar
entitled “Men and Aging with Paralysis" to provide an in-depth
exploration of the impacts of the aging process and an understanding that
men living with paralysis are not alone in facing the changes associated
with growing older.
This webinar will feature a panel discussion among four men
living with paralysis who will share their personal experiences with aging
as well as provide perspective and advice. Topics to be covered include the
physical changes brought on by aging, such as weight gain, sexual health
issues, and pain, as well as the emotional impacts, including increased
isolation, decreased self-worth, and the transition to
retirement. Strategies and resources for addressing the challenges of
aging with paralysis will also be presented to empower men to maintain
their health and quality of life as they age.
ACL funds the Paralysis Resource Center to provide
comprehensive information for people living with spinal cord injury,
paralysis and mobility-related disabilities and their support networks.
Resources include information and referral by phone and email in multiple
languages including Spanish; a peer and family support mentoring program; a
military and veterans program; multicultural outreach services; quality of
life grants; and a national website.
