Support Groups
The Support Group is important and helpful to all because we sit together as Friends with like minded concerns. Try as they might, spouses and caregivers do not fully understand what thoughts and concerns we might be dealing with trying to cope ( memory, word finding, anxiety etc. ) members can relate. We sit down as friends, talk and Listen, listen and talk nonjudgmental.

Brain Injury Support Groups
If you or someone you love has experienced a Brain Injury, you may benefit from participating in one of our many support groups. These groups meet on a monthly or weekly basis and offer people who live with the effects of a brain injury the chance to: meet and discuss common issues and problems, learn more about living with ABI and to have fun in a positive environment.
​
Support Groups are offered in the counties of Huron, Perth, London & Middlesex, Oxford and Elgin for persons living with the effects of brain injury.​
