Benefits of Support Groups:
Members of a support group typically share their personal experiences and offer one another emotional comfort and moral support. They may also offer practical advice and tips to help you cope with your situation.
Benefits of participating in support groups may include:
There are many support groups for survivors of acquired brain Injury and their families/supporters throughout the province. The goal is to provide Education about ABI, share experiences, and provide support, understanding and reassurance that those living with an ABI are not alone.
