If a problem does arise, we can assist in connecting the client or family with the appropriate services.

Bridging the Gap Support Group

The Bridging the Gap Support Group is held at the Northwest Brain Injury Center in collaboration with the Brain Injury Association of Indiana. In 2007, this group won the Brain Injury Association of Indiana Support Group of the Year award. The Bridging the Gap support group is for survivors of brain injury and their family and caregivers. It is intended to meet the needs of individuals not only going through the process of outpatient therapies, but also for those who have either been discharged from treatments or have never received treatments.

Bridging the Gap meets the fourth Monday of every month from 7-9 pm. Typical group sessions vary from splitting out caregivers and survivors into different sessions and providing support, problem-solving through pertinent situations, goal-setting, and providing information about return-to-work, increasing social interactions, return to driving, dealing with medication issues, Medicaid, disability, or any other issue that is deemed important. Apart from the monthly meetings, social gatherings are also held to decrease social loneliness and increase support in the community.
