Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Support Groups
Washington State
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Strategic Partnership Advisory Council of Washington State provides Support Groups through the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) that emphasize connection, education, and engagement in life after sustaining a TBI.
Our Support Groups are predicated on the concept of a person-centered approach that can aid in the development of long-term knowledge and generic problem-solving skills to help attendees overcome barriers to sustaining a fulfilling life.
These Support Groups may provide a therapeutic effect, but they do not provide therapy and instead focus on delivering organized bodies of knowledge and resources for the betterment of attendees.
The group rotation will consist of scheduled groups of two to three groups per week. Each group focuses on a specific topic geared towards individuals who have sustained a brain injury, their familes, and providers.
*Please note, groups with "Private" in the title are for specific groups and are not open for public entry.
*Closed Captioning is offered at indicated sessions.
