About the host
Hi ! My name is Michelle, a Nationally Certified Peer with an extensive background in healthcare; my focus is overall health and wellbeing! I am one of those people who roll out bed smiling, grateful for another day! It has taken me years to become "comfortable in my own skin" and now that I am, it's all about embracing life every single day as a beautiful gift; hopeful, purposeful and peaceful.
Motivation for help
I believe connection is the opposite of addiction and together we can foster these connections to create meaning, purpose and value in our lives. I love living today and hope to share this joy with others. We can grow, we can find "more" in healthy ways that feed our souls, minds and bodies in a way that manifest a legacy for our families and our earth.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Support Groups

Washington State

September 2024 Update: The Washington Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) is working diligently with HeyPeers to continue offering virtual support groups for those who have experienced a traumatic brain injury.  Virtual support groups are temporarily on hold but will be available soon.  We know these support groups are an important part of connection, education, and engagement for the TBI community and appreciate your understanding as we get them up and running again.  If you have any questions, please email dru.aubert@dshs.wa.gov.

 

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.
