Orlando Brain Injury Support Group
Our Mission is to Build Brain Injury Awareness through knowledge and partnership.
The Main Purpose of the Orlando Brain Injury Support Group is to provide a safe environment where Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivors can give each other support, share their individual needs and establish friendships by meeting others who face similar challenges. We have educational speakers from the community. We share community resource information and plan recreational time. It is important to help build brain injury awareness for 350,000 people that live in Florida with TBI and for the veterans that sustained a TBI in the war. Together we can each build a strong link in the chain of TBI recovery through friendship and support.
