Brain Injury Support group meetings
We invite all people living with a brain injury, their family/whaanau and other support people to join us at one of our meetings.
If you are new to attending a group, we do ask that you register so we know that you are coming along. We would love to get to know you and ensure that you feel supported at our groups.
Please register by emailing: support@braininjurywaikato.org.nz

Our brain injury education groups support people to live well after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The sessions provide clear, easy-to-understand information about how brain injury can affect thinking, emotions, behaviour, and daily life. Participants learn new skills and practical strategies to help manage challenges, build confidence, and get the best out of life after a brain injury.
The groups also provide a strong sense of belonging and connection. They are a safe and supportive place to meet others, ask questions, share ideas, and learn together. People can listen, share their experiences, and give and receive support alongside others who understand or are walking a similar path.
