The Saturday Support Group is a bi-monthly meeting that meets on the first and third saturday of each month. It is a meeting that offers a sense of community in a virtual setting while also having an array of guest speakers that cover a wide variety of topics related to brain injury.
The meeting and participants create a welcoming space for Brain Injury Survivors, their friends, family, and caregivers to connect and support one another, no matter where they are on their journey.
The variety of guest speakers covers topics related to brain injury, including acupuncturists, speech pathologists, physical therapists, nutritionists, rehab counselors, and more!
Participants have the opportunity to ask questions, explore new ideas, and make valuable connections within the community. On days without speakers, we engage in deeper, in-depth conversations, sharing resources, experiences, and supporting each other through meaningful dialogue.
This program is offered virtually, allowing participants to join from anywhere, whether you’re in Oregon, Washington, Texas, Pennsylvania, or beyond.
No matter where you are, you are welcome in this safe and supportive community.
