The holidays can be a joyful time, but we know they can also be especially challenging for survivors of acquired brain injury (ABI) and their loved ones. Changes in routine, sensory overload, grief, or feelings of isolation can all feel heavier this time of year.

Please know you’re not alone. Our team is here to help, and we offer a wide range of supports and resources on our website, from navigation and peer support to education and community connection.

It’s okay to ask for help.
