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.​
We sit together as Friends with like minded concerns.

For me the "brain club" is: acceptance, sharing experiences of TBI's, a safe haven, laughs without hesitation of rejection.
Amanda
