ParaHelp

ParaHelp is a Swiss organization providing specialist nursing advice and training for people with spinal cord injuries and comparable neurological conditions. Working across Switzerland, it supports people in their own living environments, helping them maintain and develop independence, safety and quality of life.

Its specialists help address everyday care needs, prevent and manage complications related to paralysis, and coordinate support across healthcare services. Advice may be provided in person or by phone, and solutions are tailored to each person’s circumstances. ParaHelp also shares its expertise with staff in home-care organizations, residential facilities and hospitals.
