The Friends & Family Support Group is an in-person monthly group meeting that meets on the 4th Saturday each month from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (Pacific Time Zone). The Friends & Family Group is for anyone who has been impacted by someone they love surviving a brain injury. It is also for anyone who would like to learn more about brain injury through first-hand conversations.
Our meetings are casual and provide education and social support while building a community and network of others who are supporting or impacted by a survivor.
