Ever wanted to meet up with others living with brain injury?
BIM launched a Peer Support Group (PSG) program in 2020. Groups are facilitated by a person with lived experience of brain injury. Group members meet regularly to support each other, learn new skills and have fun. For more information or to join a Peer Support Group email or telephone (03) 9639 7222
. “If you’re feeling lost and want to make a connection to others with similar daily struggles, then these groups are a game changer. I’ve made some great mates and I’m now looking forward to tackling the future.” – Ryan Scown (PSG member)Peer Support Group Information
Small groups of people with brain injury meet weekly to catch up, learn from each other and have some fun.
