We were delighted to recently host a visit from the staff of the @Kesslerfdn at our office. During their visit, they engaged with our Peer & Family Support Program to discuss our shared commitment to supporting family members and caregivers of individuals with paralysis through peer mentoring. Additionally, they learned about the various programs and materials offered by the National Paralysis Resource Center. The Kessler team also presented their comprehensive caregiver training and support program, designed for family members and home health care aides.
We look forward to further exploring collaborative opportunities with the Kessler Foundation to enhance the support for our remarkable family members and caregivers. #TodaysCare

This #Juneteenth, we remember the many enslaved individuals living with disabilities who were denied freedom after the Emancipation Proclamation due to not being able to easily leave the plantations or join the workforce. ChristopherReeve.org/Juneteenth

For #GunViolenceAwarenessMonth, we’re highlighting our Supporting Gun Violence Survivors panel at #ReeveSummit2024. This panel featured Chris Hilderbrant, who helps lead Rochester Spinal Association’s Gun Violence Survivors Support Group, as well as members Ralph Norman and Rahsaan Wise. Namel Norris of @4WheelCityGram also shared how he uses music to advocate for change. A huge thank you to all panelists, and to Reeve’s Public Policy Manager Angel Heinz for moderating!
Studies show that gun violence results in nearly twice as many injuries as casualties. Injuries can include paralysis and long-term disability, although research documenting the extent of this needs to be prioritized.
