#damayan #damayanmigrantworkersassociation Philippine American Physiatrist Association3 days ago💚 This September, PAPA honors Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month under the theme:
✨ “Empowering Independence Through Innovation and Inclusion.” ✨
Spinal cord injury affects not only mobility, but also access to opportunities, independence, and quality of life. Yet every day, individuals show remarkable resilience and strength—reminding us of the importance of innovation, advocacy, and community support.
This September, and every day beyond, let’s come together to:
🟢 Raise awareness about spinal cord injuries
🟢 Highlight innovations that promote independence
🟢 Champion inclusion and accessibility in all aspects of life
Together, we can continue to break barriers and create a more inclusive world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
