About the Webcast:

Employment is an integral part of life. Most people identify with the type of work they do, and choose their career because they have an interest or even a passion in the field. This does not have to change after a spinal cord injury. Returning to work can be intimidating, but there are many resources available to help on the journey back to employment. During this month’s lecture, our speaker, Mary Mahon McCauley will discuss the available resources that can help guide, assist, and support individuals in attaining their vocational goals. Attendees of this month's lecture will: be aware of the possibilities of returning to work after spinal cord injury, and understand the resources available to support individuals as they navigate the road back to work after spinal cord injury.
