After completing her master’s degree in counseling psychology, she distributed wheelchairs for eight years in developing countries. For over 13 years, she supported cross-cultural workers as they served overseas By coming alongside people with spinal cord injuries and chronic physical conditions, Jenny hopes to support and encourage others in their emotional, physical, and spiritual health as they adapt to life with a disability. Jenny was my guest in season 1 of The QuadCast (S1 E21 - Jenny Smith Rolls On), and since then she's continued her tireless work on behalf of the SCI community. We have kept in touch over the years, and last week recorded this episode to highlight among many things, her series of online group meetings where people with disabilities can find/get support for the emotional impact of a disability.
