SDBIF Brain Injury Survivor Peer-to-Peer Support Group banner

If you are a brain injury survivor and you feel like you need to talk to people who understand you, you found the support group for you!

 

This is an online Zoom support group with ONLY 15 SPOTS
happening on June 28 from 2-3:30pm

 
This group provides a safe forum for survivors to share concerns, challenges, triumphs and strategies with a group of peers. We have a loose topic for this group discussion, but this is NOT a traditional speaker group. Since this is a support group, we will have time to “check in” with everyone and chat about how everyone is doing and coping. Dr. Roslyn Knox, Executive Director of SDBIF, will be facilitating this group.

Space is limited to 15 participants to ensure quality interaction. So register early as spaces will fill up.
