Have you or a Loved One Experienced a Brain Injury?

This program enables you to:
- Connect with someone who has a similar experience to yours
- Listen to someone else’s journey in coping with brain injury
- Share your own story with someone who understands first-hand
- Learn and share strategies, tips and useful resources in recovery
- Talk about topics that really matter to you
- Get support as you figure out a goal you are interested in pursuing

“I was a bit apprehensive to start off with but then when we started talking I was so refreshed. It was like a breath of fresh air to meet other people with acquired brain injury (ABI). It really helps to talk to other people with the same troubles and to share how we cope” – Dave
