The Lionheart Community

The Lionheart Community develops solutions that empower individuals with paralysis to achieve healthier outcomes, integrate into society, and fully participate in life. Support & Resources and Recreation are the two pillars of our programming. 

TLC's Support includes: Peer leadership training, in-patient hospital visits, weekly and monthly in person and online support groups, one-on-one peer mentors.

TLC's Resources includes: Care packages for the newly paralyzed, a bi-monthly newsletter, a shared SCI directory, a medical equipment exchange program, and education for clinicians and society about paralysis. 

TLC's Recreation includes: Fun nights out on the town like bowling, comedy clubs and concerts. For the more adventurous we offer activities like hiking along the American River, hand cycling, kayaking, camping and white water rafting. 

Living with paralysis from a spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or a neurological disorder is the most challenging path to navigate through life. These thing do not heal and the secondary complications are usually much worse than the original injury or onset. Connecting with other who understand the challenges and daily tasks is priceless. Studies show support groups and connection with like community provides a deeper understanding, invaluable resources and better life outcomes. We encourage people to live their best lives with bravery and determination against the odds.
