    SCI Rookie Book – Spinal cord injury basics for Rookie Supporters

    • Susan Wood
    • October 1, 2025

    Finding the right information about spinal cord injury at the acute stages can be overwhelming and confusing. We’re here to help with our Acute Family Resource SCI Rookie Books series.

    This is the first of a series that we’ll be rolling out (no pun intended) to help family members at the early stages of a loved one’s spinal cord injury.

    Developed by Jenni Haydon, our Acute Family Resource Coordinator, she uses her own lived-experience from a family member perspective to guide you through the basics, where to start and where can you get the right support.

    Click the image to download the booklet or click here. Our Peer and Family Support team offer lived-experience advice and support to help you and your loved ones navigate disability in the spinal units of Sydney and in the community in New South Wales and Western Australia.

    If you’d like to learn more from another with lived-experience, check out Episode 35: Where is the support for spouses and carers? on our podcast Have The Nerve.
