Why Attend A Support Group Meeting?
The purpose of a support group is to share with and support one another for the mutual benefit of the whole group. Some essential elements of a support group are:
- Understanding brain injury
- Learning about resources in your community
- Emotional healing
- Socialization
- Finding encouragement and hope
- Active, involved listening to and learning from others
- Sharing
- An opportunity to be understood and to express oneself
- Providing an atmosphere where positive and negative views can be expressed without being judged or labeled
- Exploring common needs and strengths
- A place to find courage and to take risks
