SUPPORT GROUPS

Our support groups offer social and peer support, with a unique opportunity for individuals with acquired brain injury, their family, friends and carers to understand their recovery by identifying commonalities between each member. Each person is able to see and come to terms with their situation and recovery journey, through other people’s eyes and experience’s.

Understanding their condition and symptoms, not just from a clinical perspective from a consultant or doctor explaining it in medical terms. Honest down to earth explanations are shared and openly talked about, within the group. Everyone is encouraged to reach their own goals, working towards accepting their new condition, recovery and social inclusion.

The group is run at a gentle caring pace with breaks to reduce fatigue.

There for you

A safe Place to meet & Share information with likeminded individuals
“The support and friendships I have made from this group has changed my life!"

We focus on:

  • A safe place to meet with others who are living with ABI, their families and carers.
  • Informal group discussions around planned topics that are commonly experienced by people living with ABI.
  • Self-help information relating to the topics discussed.
  • Signposting to other appropriate services as required.
  • Information and support for families and carers.
  • Social activities at specific times of the year e.g. Summer & Christmas.
“How would I cope without this group? I now have a voice and feel listened to.”
