HeadNorth created the Recover Program to support the immediate physical and psychological transitional needs of the individual and family following the spinal cord injury. Essential resources, Peer Support and Response ONE financial assistance are provided during the acute inpatient recovery phase.
Response ONE Grant
Along with other resources and support, the Response ONE grant can be used, but is not limited to, the purchase of food, lodging, transportation and access to essential resources up to $1000. Grants are awarded to legal resident of greater San Diego County within 60 days of injury.
Thanks to HeadNorth I was able to meet a Peer Support Mentor and ask him any questions that I had.
