Restore
Counselling and Psychosocial Support Programme
Living with a spinal injury can be emotionally and psychologically challenging. The sudden loss of mobility and independence often causes fear, anxiety, depression and feelings of uncertainty. Families and caregivers also experience emotional distress as they adapt to new responsibilities and changing circumstances.
At Spinal Injuries Support Society (SISS) Uganda, we recognize that recovery goes beyond physical healing. Emotional well-being is equally important in helping survivors rebuild their lives and regain confidence. Through our Restore Programme, we provide counselling and psychosocial support that empowers individuals and families to cope with the realities of spinal injury and discover renewed hope.
Our compassionate team creates supportive environments where survivors can share experiences, receive encouragement and develop resilience. We are committed to helping every survivor rediscover purpose and live a full and meaningful life.
Healing Hearts and Restoring Hope
Spinal injuries affect not only the body but also emotional well-being, family relationships and social participation. The Restore Programme addresses these challenges by promoting emotional recovery and strengthening support systems around survivors.
