The UCI Health Traumatic Brain Injury Survivors Support group is for individuals diagnosed with a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) and caregivers/family members. The goal of the group is to provide resources, services and a community for TBI survivors.
The meetings will be held virtually on the first Monday of the month from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Each group meeting starts with a 20–30-minute expert presentation on a specific topic, followed by an open discussion with group members. This is facilitated by UCI Health neurology and trauma departments.
Topics we will discuss over the months include:
- sleep hygiene
- speech therapy
- acupuncture
- advocacy groups
- tai chi
- nutrition
