We are collecting short stories on Team Member's experiences of Healthy Spines - why they are involved, what they gain personally, why spinal health promotion is important. and what they notice about the learning gaind and actions taken by students, staff and schools. These are published in their professional newsletter to encourage more chiropractors to get involved by joining a training program and becoming part of the national Healthy Spines team. We also hope to gather more stories direct from students, staff and schools involved over time.
