The

brain injury who are basically functioning independently
in the community, but who are struggling with issues
such as fatigue, memory, organization, communication
skills, personal relationships, obtaining/retaining
employment, and self-esteem.
This is an opportunity to meet other survivors who
are dealing with situations similar to your own. The
group explores the physical, cognitive and emotional
effects of acquired brain injury. Coping strategies
for memory, problem solving, cognitive and emotional
difficulties are discussed, assisting individuals
to interact more effectively with family members,
community, school, and at work. Emphasis is on understanding
individual abilities and disabilities, developing
strategies, and enhancing one’s self-esteem.
