Brain Injury Association of Georgia

Support Groups

Our state wide volunteer-administered support groups provide an opportunity for those individuals and family members affected by brain injury not only to learn more about brain injury but to be present in a safe and encouraging venue to discuss the challenges they face.

About this program

Welcome! Below is a list of in-person and virtual support groups for people affected by brain injury. Some groups also offer Peer or Buddy Programs through universities. Please check with the group before attending. Meeting times and information can change, and some groups may take breaks during the year. Ask to be added to their contact list to receive updates.

Support groups are a place to: Learn about brain injury and available resources. Share experiences and ideas with others. Meet new people and make connections. Find encouragement and support. Talk about both good days and difficult days. Socialize and have fun. Feel safe being yourself without judgment.
