Support Groups Services
Brain Injury support groups are a great way to connect with other individuals experiencing similar circumstances. Each group has developed its own unique style based on the needs and interests of its participants. We recommend you call before attending a group as the information may change from time to time.
Facilitators: These facilitator materials (login required) can be used to provide assistance to your support group. Contact Carly at carly.endres@und.edu or (701) 777-4008 for login information.
