Support Groups
"We either hang together or we hang separately!" Benjamin Franklin's sentiment is as true now as it was when he and his peers were grappling for solutions to their problems.
Today we're grappling too, for the support, inspiration and solutions that we and our families need regarding the various brain and learning related challenges we face. Support groups can have an important role to play in serving those needs.
The following is a growing list of support groups and activities available to help you and your family achieve a better life. Please contact us if you know of support group activities that should be added to this list.
Let us know, too, if you want a support group to be created that isn’t available as yet. We’ll let the professional community know of your need and hopefully someone with begin such a group.
