Joining a support group with other people who are living with a brain injury can be a great way to share your experiences and learn from others. Group participants have reported an increase in confidence, leisure opportunities and improvement in their understanding of brain injury, resulting in improved quality of life.  

Meet your peers and develop skills in a variety of activities including the arts, academics, physical activities, social skills, coping strategies and more. 

There are also interest-based groups for youth, caregivers or people interested in organizing out-of-country vacations. 

Additionally, each group includes educational components focused on learning about brain injury, health and wellness, effective communication and goal setting. 

Our brain injury support groups are either funded by Ontario Health or offered on a fee-for-service basis (usually your insurance covers these fees). If your insurance funding ends, we can support a smooth transition into programs funded by Ontario Health. 

Some groups are run by March of Dimes Canada’s Community Support Services (in the North East and Central regions of Ontario) and some groups are run by our After Stroke programs or Aphasia and Communication Disabilities programs.  

Help arranging transportation to and from groups is available if required.
