Hope After Head Injury

Brain Injury Support Group

Hope After Head Injury is an uplifting online community providing much-needed support, connection, and resources for brain injury survivors and family members. Through Zoom support groups and an active online presence, we meet survivors where they are: offering hope, compassion, and understanding.

You are not alone.

Many survivors experience fatigue, overstimulation, or other barriers that make in-person support difficult. Our online zoom meetings offer a safe and encouraging space to share experiences, find resources, and connect with others who understand.

Whether it’s through our monthly Zoom groups facilitated by Hope Survives founder Cristabelle Braden or engaging discussions in our online community, Hope After Head Injury provides a compassionate network ready to support you every step of the way.

All are welcome to join our Zoom sessions for a friendly, supportive, & encouraging chat where we can share and encourage each other (virtual) face to (virtual) face!
