Self-Management Community Based Program
It is recommended that all persons with SCI receive a specialized
evidence-based self-management program designed to improve their
self-care and mental health in the long-term. The SCI needs
assessment plan should provide ongoing community re-integration
services and social support through community referrals, including
community mental health programs; driver education training;
educational programs; financial assistance services; home health
services; home modification services; independent living centers;
recreation programs; sexuality and couple counseling; SCI
associations; transportation services; and vocational rehabilitation
services.
