About MBIN

Together, they created a weekly support group for their brain-injured family members, providing rehabilitative and emotional support. By 1997, the funds and facilities had been secured for the creation of a day program for brain injured adults; the Larkspur Center was born. Highly qualified staff members were recruited to develop a unique rehabilitation program that integrated vocational and occupational therapy with expressive, movement, and creative classes.

Today, Marin Brain Injury Network (MBIN) is a community organization of acquired brain injury survivors, their friends and family, medical and social service professionals, and concerned individuals. Rehabilitative, supportive, creative and educational services are offered at the Larkspur Center for brain-injured adults, their caregivers and professionals in the field. The Larkspur Center provides a supportive community to all who participate and everyone who is eligible is served.

We offer a variety of support services during the week and a structured day program, Monday through Thursday from 12pm to 4pm, at 1132 Magnolia Avenue in Larkspur, California. The facility is near the College of Marin campus and is accessible by Golden Gate Transit or Whistlestop Wheels.

The Larkspur Center day program offers classes, groups, and other activities to help adult survivors of acquired brain injury (ABI) maintain stability in their lives, achieve greater independence, and participate more fully in their communities. Classes and other activities at The Larkspur Center’s structured day program build self-esteem and self-acceptance while developing a range of skills:
