Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Week (SCIAW) is a national campaign highlighting spinal cord injury in the community.

Yvette Eglington and Elise Kennedy are two women who became mothers after they sustained a spinal cord injury (SCI). They met each other through an introduction from Vicky Machen, PQSA's Peer Support Advocate, and have become close friends. Yvette and Elise have a special connection, as they are able to share stories and advice about motherhood with SCI.
On Saturday 20 March, we ran our first 'Women's Business' workshop, focusing on menopause and spinal cord injury. Thirty guests joined us to hear from Dr. Melissa Slattery, Dr. Ashani Couchman, Dr. Ruth Marshall and Rachel Favilla. They shared their knowledge on the 'ins and outs' of menopause and its impact on women's bodies with spinal cord injury.
