Brain Injury Support Groups

In most cases, attending support groups is free, and many attendees benefit immensely from participating in them.

Find a TBI Support Group That Suits You

Traumatic brain injury survivors face a variety of issues. Every TBI patient experiences challenges that depend on the severity of their injury and other variables. However, others facing similar challenges can best understand the problems you are facing.

Different TBI support groups focus on different aspects of coping with TBI.

For example, some groups offer separate meetings for family members and caregivers of TBI patients, while others offer a single meeting for both the TBI patient and their family.

Some groups focus on helping new TBI patients cope with the many changes they’re experiencing, while other groups focus on offering adaptive recreational activities for people with TBI.

Some groups offer support for people with either TBI or SCI, and several groups offer help to people with any form of physical disability.

Check out the groups in your area to find one that suits your needs. Some people find it helpful to belong to more than one group
