Support Groups provide a safe place for everyone to share their experiences, learn new skills, and find resources that can help. The value and benefit of peer support cannot be understated. However, due to COVID-19 in-person support groups are limited. Please contact the facilitator listed for details.
BEST offers a variety of ways to keep you connected and engaged:
- Our online peer-led support group. This group is a private group. Please join the BEST community to get details and meeting times.
- BEST Brain Injury Discussion in Second Life. This monthly campfire discussion is open to all Second Life members (free to join).
- BEST Caregiver Respite in Second Life. BEST uses the virtual world of Second Life to give caregivers a chance to come together and share their time and experiences while visiting special places such as Tsidel’s Cafe or the Etopia Farmers Market.
