SPINAL NETWORK NEWS 7 Peer Support to be Extended Across Aotearoa Creating a community of Peer Support for those who need it most ALL SMILES. The new funding will see greater support for people with an SCI across NZ. It’s the most significant announcement for the spinal cord impaired community in almost 50 years. That’s the opinion of our CEO Hans Wouters on the recent news that ACC will invest $1.3 million into our Peer and Whānau Support programme over the next two years. We have a very exciting two years ahead of us. —Hans Wouters “This is without a doubt the most significant support for the collective SCI community in New Zealand since ACC's inception in 1974,” says Hans. “This is a very important commitment that will profoundly benefit the lives of SCI clients and their whānau.” And he is right. Hans featured in an interview on TVNZ‘s Breakfast show alongside Mark and Jayden Glentworth in November to make this significant announcement. He knows this investment into support across Aotearoa will make the world of difference. Peer Support services will soon be extended into homes right across the country. The two-year “proof of concept” proposal has been developed by charitable organisations Spinal Support NZ and our team at the New Zealand Spinal Trust. For people returning to their communities from specialist Spinal Units, this is a massive boost in their transition. Peer Support will coordinate a network of about 30 fully-trained community peer support staff and dozens more community volunteers with lived experiences of spinal cord impairment. Currently Peer Support services are delivered at the Auckland Spinal Rehabilitation Unit, and Christchurch’s Burwood Spinal Unit. The programme continues in those two units as well as the development of a community-wide peer network for clients and their whānau – from the Far North to the Deep South. A powerful interview on TVNZ Breakfast with John Campbell to announce the new funding from ACC for Peer Support. The network will provide support for people returning home from spinal units, and people with spinal cord impairments already living in the community.
