Please bring a dish or desert of your choice, and something from home that you no longer use, but feel would be useful, or encouraging to someone in our group. It's going to be a great night!

We are reflecting on our Friendsgiving with smiles and hearts of gratitude!

It was such a great time! We had an activity that allowed us to share what we were thankful for in a unique way. We laughed, cried, shared experiences and encouraged one another, all while eating good food and creating holiday ornaments.

There's something about being in a room with people that fully understand you, genuinely care about and accept you for exactly who you are! There's no better feeling!

If you are a Brain Injury Survivor, Caregiver/Family member, friend/supporter we are here for you!

We're getting ready for the Cr3ative Expressions Friendsgiving event. We really love our group, and hope they feel and receive the gratitude, love and support today!

Today, we celebrate 8 years of support, friendship, creativity, community, and family!

8 years ago, we embarked on a journey, celebrating the lives of Brain Injury Survivors!

We have created a safe space where Survivors, Caregivers, Friends, Family members and Supporters can come together to encourage and share information with one another, gain information and insights from medical professionals, community resources and artists, commune together and create together! Our goal is for every survivor to know that they are never alone....always supported.

We are family. A community! Always welcoming. Continually growing.

This is not even half of our group, but an image of some of us supporting a few of our survivors and other artists with disabilities at Hidden Tr3sures Art. Hope. Disability. event.

We are so excited for what's next, and we look forward to connecting with you all and spotlighting our members all 2025 and beyond!

While we are revamping, we are still meeting regularly for our support group meetings and events! Our monthly support meetings are held the 2nd Thursday of each month from 6pm-8pm, and 4th Thursday of the month from 2pm-4pm at Summa Rehab Hospital 29 N. Adams St. Akron, OH 44304.

Survivors, Caregivers, Friends and Family are welcome to join us!

We look forward to seeing you all there!

We are currently revamping our social media pages, and are excited to bring new content beginning January 1, 2025. This will be a hub for information on our support groups and events, brain injury related content, encouragement, empowerment and creativity! 💚
