About Us

Image
The Life After Curve Scoliosis Charity was registered in Barbados on November 2016. The charity provides information and support for persons with scoliosis in order for them to receive effective treatment. Additionally, assistance is also offered to parents who have children with scoliosis and need that extra support in their life. Vision -  Our Vision is to eradicate the stigma and challenges with scoliosis in the Caribbean. Mission -  Our Mission is to: Assist in spreading awareness for scoliosis in the Caribbean. Encourage a more loving social environment for children living with scoliosis. Act as a catalyst for children to live their dreams beyond the curve. Provide a more supportive approach in addressing challenges with scoliosis and to connect patients so that no family affected by scoliosis goes through the experience alone. Stimulate the need for early intervention and screening for scoliosis.
