Brain Injury Rehabilitation: Support Group

For: patients | volunteers | family & visitors | medical professionals | donate now

Each year, more than 1.5 million Americans suffer a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Of those individuals, approximately 70,000 to 90,000 experience significant physical, intellectual, emotional, behavioral, social and vocational impairments. If you are suffering from the lingering effects of a TBI, the Lehigh Valley Brain Injury Support Group can ensure that you do not have to face your challenges alone.

The Lehigh Valley Brain Injury Support Group meets on the third Thursday of every month on the main level of the Good Shepherd Health & Technology Center, 850 S. Fifth Street, Allentown. The two-hour meetings begin at 7 p.m.

Meetings are aimed at informing individuals who have had brain injuries and their families about new developments in rehabilitation and care. The group’s goal is to enhance quality of life for participants through education and socialization.

There is no charge to attend a session. Both brain injury patients and their families are encouraged to attend. For more information, please contact Bonnie Kuhns, secretary of the support group, at 610-776-3393.
