Healing happens through connection.

We love seeing our Bold Moves Peer Supporters inspiring others on their stroke recovery journey at Rehab@Muelmed.
Because recovery is more than therapy – it’s about mindset, courage, and community.

We are proud to once again partner with Rehab@Muelmed in presenting the Spinal Cord Injury Peer Supporter Training.

This important event on the calendar equips peer supporters with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to walk alongside others on their rehab journey.

A big thank you to all the facilitators, sponsors, and especially the participants who completed the program — your commitment makes the difference!

This year’s annual Peer Supporter Training, made possible through the funds raised by Bold Moves, was hosted in collaboration with Rehab@Muelmed.

Each year, Bold Moves invests in developing Peer Supporters within the rehab community. In 2025, the focus was on Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) – equipping participants with knowledge, skills and confidence to walk alongside others on their rehab journey.

The three-day program covered vital topics including diagnosis and classification, bladder and bowel management, healthy lifestyle, prevention of complications, ageing, communication, emotional wellbeing, relationships and sexuality, advocacy, and practical peer support.
All sessions were supported by the interdisciplinary team from Rehab@Muelmed.

A heartfelt congratulations to all participants who completed the training.
Bold Moves is proud to stand behind you as you step into this important role of supporting others.

Each year, we offer Peer Support Training to equip people with lived experience to support others in rehab.
It’s about turning challenges into compassion and experience into empowerment.

"I thought I was alone… until someone who understood sat beside me and listened."

Our peer supporters share their time, hearts, and stories with people currently in rehab.
Sometimes, knowing someone else has walked the same path is the first step to healing.

Bold Moves is more than an NPO — it’s a movement of people supporting people.

We believe in positive, lasting change for individuals with physical disabilities — not only during rehab, but long after.

Want to get involved? Reach out. Let’s make bold moves, together.

"You may not see it today, but your courage is inspiring someone else."

Bold Moves exists because we believe in the power of peer motivation.
Every person has a story worth telling and every step forward — no matter how small — is worth celebrating.
Your bold move may be someone else’s breakthrough.

Rehabilitation is more than physical recovery. It’s emotional, social and deeply personal.
Bold Moves works closely with the inter-disciplinary team at Rehab@Muelmed to identify people and families in need of extra support during their rehab journey.
We walk beside you.

“Make like a lighthouse and shine.”

What if your biggest breakdown became your breakthrough?

At just 35, Chanell Havenga – one of our incredible Bold Moves Peer Supporters – survived a massive ischemic stroke during a routine procedure. She lost her ability to speak, walk and even swallow.

But what followed was not just a journey of physical recovery – it was a powerful rediscovery of self.

In this deeply moving interview with Bill Gasiamis, Chanell opens up about stroke, identity, fear, fatigue, and purpose. If you’re walking your own recovery road, feeling lost or overwhelmed, this conversation is your reminder:
You are not broken.
There is strength in you yet.
You are not alone.
