Living with a brain injury or supporting a loved one who has experienced one can be overwhelming and isolating. However, it’s important to remember: You are not alone.
Support groups offer a confidential and welcoming environment where individuals with brain injury and their caregivers can share their experiences, ideas, and emotions — both positive and challenging — without fear of judgment. These groups provide more than just a listening ear; they create a community of understanding, strength, and hope.
The Brain Injury Association of New York State is dedicated to connecting individuals and caregivers to the resources they need. Visit our Support Group Directory below, to explore available options near you or join an online group to connect from the comfort of your home.
If there are no groups in your area or you feel inspired to create a new community, BIANYS can help! Learn more by downloading our Support Group Guidebook. Contact us at
Remember—no one should navigate the journey of brain injury alone. Together, we are stronger.
