Building a support system for Survivors of Brain Injury

Brain injuries of any kind are very complex. In many cases, recovery and rehabilitation from a brain injury is a lifelong process of adjustments, changes and, compromises which affect not only the individual but the family around them that support or care for them. 

Support groups are a wonderful way to meet people who may have be facing similar issues and problems having suffered a brain injury themselves as well as a place to share stories and encourage one another. We have prepared a list of support groups and organizations by state. We highly encourage you to call the listed contacts to verify the meeting date and time before attending any group as  meetings are sometimes re-scheduled due to weather, holidays, illness, etc.
