Breaking Down Barriers To Accessibility.

Returning Home Wheelchair Ramp Initiative

Pushing Forward supports individuals and families facing financial hardships that prevent them from transitioning home following inpatient treatment for SCIs. Installation of residential wheelchair ramps remove accessibility barriers and enable our clients to return home sooner.
Case Management

Our Community Health Worker directly assists those with spinal cord injuries, focusing on low-income households. We provide support for various needs such as obtaining medical equipment, securing accessible living, transportation assistance, moving support, and workshops on financial wellness and job readiness.
Therapeutic and Recovery Support

Reclaim & Rise, a comprehensive six-week therapeutic and wraparound support program designed specifically for women and their families impacted by gun violence or physical injury. This trauma-informed initiative provides group therapy, individual counseling, family-centered services, and community engagement opportunities to promote long-term emotional healing, resilience, and social reintegration.
Long‐Term Recovery Support

Live Well and Thrive Program is stigma reduction. By acknowledging that substance misuse among people with disabilities is often rooted in unmanaged pain, trauma, and systemic barriers rather than moral failure, the program replaces shame with understanding and promotes help‐seeking in safe, supportive spaces. Through disability‐informed education, harm‐reduction strategies, and trust‐based engagement, Pushing Forward will reduce preventable harm and support long‐term recovery and stability.
