Education + Research
Support Groups
We know the journey following a brain injury, stroke or neurological condition can be challenging for you and your loved ones. That’s why we offer support groups – open to those we have served and the community – each month. Join us for an education session, breakouts for you and your loved one and social time each month as we walk this journey together.
It's a difficult journey. We know the way.
