The purpose of this project is to test the efficacy of an internet-based psychological health

injury.


Inclusion Criteria:

- have a traumatic spinal cord injury

- be at least one year post injury

- be able to speak and read English (to participate in the group intervention and
complete study questionnaires in English).

- have access to a phone, an email account, and a computer and high-speed Internet

Exclusion Criteria:

- have a cognitive impairment that significantly limits their ability to give informed
consent, participate in the intervention, or complete study assessments as determined
by an inability to correctly answer questions on a comprehension of consent
questionnaire

- have a significant visual or hearing impairment that would prohibit their ability to
participate in the virtual intervention

- report active suicidality

- live in institutions. Individuals living in community-based group and adult foster
homes will be invited to participate.
