The power of PATH: overcoming barriers and building resilience in your bladder routine and life

The journey of life often includes obstacles, challenges, and difficulties – and adjusting to an intermittent catheterization and bladder management routine is no different! If you’re a new or long-time intermittent catheter user, you may experience barriers that make adhering to a routine difficult or feel mental and emotional turmoil accepting the situation. As a quadriplegic and intermittent catheter user, Tasha Schuh can relate. During this webinar, Tasha will share how a life-changing accident at the age of 16 helped her learn the importance of resilience and how her PATH framework can help attendees face difficult times and develop hope for the future. While the PATH framework can be applied to just about any facet of life, Tasha will explain how it can help attendees overcome barriers and build resilience in their bladder routine and methods she’s used to adjust. The webinar will also include an overview of how the Coloplast® Care program can help support intermittent catheter users through clinician-validated education, resources for everyday bladder management, and community networks.
