New Peer-Based Program Offered by Spina Bifida Resource Network
By Sean Kane-Holland
Hello Access Nature Community,
Excited to share the launch of a new pilot program designed especially for teens in our community — Unstoppable.
Unstoppable is a peer-based program for teens ages 13–20 with Spina Bifida and similar disabilities that is being managed by the Spina Bifida Resource Network. The program is designed to create a welcoming and supportive space where teens can connect with one another, build confidence, strengthen self-advocacy skills, and explore greater independence — all while having fun.
Through group activities and conversations, participants will have opportunities to:
- Connect with other teens who share similar experiences
- Build friendships and peer support
- Develop confidence and independence
- Strengthen emotional well-being
- Try new activities in a safe, judgment-free environment
- Our first gathering will take place:
Registration is required. A parent or guardian must complete the registration form.
If you have a teen who might enjoy connecting with peers and building new skills, we encourage you to register early as space for this pilot program may be limited.
