Brain Injury Support group meetings
We invite all people living with a brain injury, their family/whanau and carers to join us.
Support groups can provide a sense of belonging, make social connections, and share ideas, learn and deepen understanding for recovery and ask questions. It is a safe place to share, listen and give and get support surrounded by people who understand or are walking a similar path.
