SWTCon Virtual Wellness Session: From Surviving to Thriving

Nothing prepares any of us to fight to heal from the events that lead to a life in a wheelchair. It isn’t easy to grieve the loss of who we were and embrace the person we can become.

In this talk, we will look at the healing process that comes with a life-changing trauma. We will discuss common issues, and learn hands-on tools and skills to manage the everyday experiences that often deepen depression and anxiety for those living with chronic health conditions.

My name is Margaret “Maggie” Anderson, LCSW. I sustained an SCI in 2003. I am honored to meet with you all and discuss the opportunities wheelchair users can have to move from surviving to thriving.

All StrongWheeled Together events are designed to connect our community members, chapter leaders, corporate partners, and allies from healthcare and technology in the most extensive, dynamic, and engaging way possible. They will draw from the collective knowledge and experience of our nationwide membership of over 60,000 wheelchair users.

Our 2024 StrongWheeled Together sessions will capture the spectrum of what we do—and what we can achieve—as an organization. These sessions are listed below are open to all. Register today!
