Why Attend a Support Group Meeting? The purpose of a support group is to learn more about brain injury and available services by meeting with others who are facing or have faced similar challenges. The essential elements of a support group are: Gather information Share common needs and strengths Provide a place to meet new friends and find new connections in the community Provide a safe place to find courage and take risks Provide an opportunity to socialize Provide and environment where positive and negative views can be expressed without being judged NOTE: All Support Groups Welcome Survivors, Family, and Friends!
