Our Mission

United Spinal Association is dedicated to empowering and advocating for people with spinal cord injuries and disorders (SCI/D) and all wheelchair users to achieve their highest quality of life.

United Spinal Association of Georgia’s focus is bridging the gap between rehabilitation and the home setting so that a person with a new spinal cord injury or disorder (SCI/D) has the resources they need to get back to a meaningful life. We provide peer mentoring in and out of rehab, tailored support for victims of gun violence, regular meet-ups, a monthly support group meeting, a weekly online game night, an adaptive video gaming and esports program, and we advocate for the needs of all wheelchair users.
