The Companion Program

You don’t have to walk this road alone.

The Companion Program is a 3-month opportunity to build meaningful, supportive connection. Our first cohort is June 1 to August 31, we’ll match you with someone from the Hope Survives community for weekly check-ins — someone who gets it.

This isn’t mentorship. It’s presence. Encouragement. Consistent support from someone who understands life after brain injury.

Apply through May 16 to join our first cohort.

How It Works

  • You’ll complete an application to help us match you.

  • You’ll be paired with a companion based on preferences like communication style, injury experience, age range, and interests.

  • You’ll check in once per week (or more if you choose) via text, phone, chat, or video—whatever works best for both of you.

  • We provide light structure, conversation prompts, and ongoing support.

Who It’s For

This program is open to:

  • Survivors of brain injury

  • Family Members and caregivers

  • Volunteers who want to support others with empathy and encouragement

We believe everyone deserves connection — no matter where they are on their journey.
