We’re excited to recognize an incredible accomplishment within our SLG community!

ASD Waiver participant Denzel C has been awarded a $1,000 grant from the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism in recognition of his impactful peer support work within the Connecticut autism community.

Through his efforts, Denzel has been a source of connection, encouragement, and advocacy for others, helping individuals feel seen, supported, and empowered in their own journeys. His work reflects the power of lived experience and the importance of peer-led support in building stronger, more inclusive communities.

At The Supported Living Group, we are proud to stand alongside individuals like Denzel who are not only working toward their own goals but are also lifting others up along the way. His recognition by the Flutie Foundation highlights the meaningful difference one person can make.

Join us in congratulating Denzel on this well-deserved honor and for the positive impact he continues to have across the Connecticut autism community! 👏

We’re proud to share an exciting milestone for The Supported Living Group’s Inspire Arts program!

Through a recent partnership with Bradley International Airport, artwork created by individuals we support was showcased at the airport, allowing these talented artists to have their voices and creativity seen by national and international travelers.

We were especially grateful to have members of our Inspire Arts program visit the airport to experience their work on display in person. Moments like this go far beyond art; they represent confidence, identity, and the power of community inclusion.

At SLG, we believe that recovery after brain injury is not just about support, it’s about opportunity. Inspire Arts continues to create spaces where individuals can express themselves, connect with others, and be recognized for their abilities and contributions.

Thank you to Bradley International Airport for helping elevate the voices of the artists we are honored to support.

We’re honored to share that The Supported Living Group’s Inspire Arts program has been featured once again in Today Magazine—marking the fifth installment highlighting this incredible initiative.

This continued recognition reflects something we see every day: the powerful role that creativity plays in the recovery journey following brain injury.

Inspire Arts was developed to support individuals living with traumatic brain injuries in rediscovering purpose, identity, and connection through artistic expression. What began as an idea has grown into a vibrant, collaborative community where participants are not only creating art, but redefining what recovery can look like.

Over time, the program has supported dozens of artists, each bringing their own story, perspective, and resilience into the creative process.

We’re grateful to Today Magazine for continuing to highlight the voices, journeys, and talents of the individuals who make Inspire Arts what it is.

Because recovery isn’t just about what was lost—
it’s about what can still be created.

The innovative Inspire Arts program supports clients who have suffered traumatic brain injuries and serves as an inspiration for contemplation of key human issues, such as the Fall — yes, one way a TBI occurs is via a tragic fall — what does the word "fall" evoke for you?

At The Supported Living Group, stories like this remind us why we do what we do every single day.

Ten years after sustaining a traumatic brain injury that left him unable to speak, walk, or use part of his body, Matt Beth has not only defied expectations; he is now earning his doctoral degree and has been selected as a student marshal for his graduating class.

His journey is a powerful reflection of what is possible when resilience, support, and opportunity come together.

Recovery after brain injury is not linear. It is complex, deeply personal, and often filled with moments where progress feels uncertain. But with the right supports, meaningful connection, and belief in potential, individuals can continue to grow, achieve, and redefine what their future looks like.

At SLG, we are honored to travel alongside the individuals we support as they pursue their own goals, whether that means rebuilding independence, reconnecting with community, or discovering new purpose.

Stories like Matt’s don’t just inspire, they reinforce what we know to be true:
Potential does not disappear after brain injury. It evolves.

Ten years after sustaining a traumatic brain injury that left him without the ability to speak, walk or use the left side of his body, Matt Beth will be graduating with his doctoral degree from Auburn University’s College of Education and has been chosen to represent the Graduate School as its stu...

🌱 Big things are sprouting at The Supported Living Group’s Bethany location! 🌿

We’re proud to highlight our wonderful partnership with Healing By Growing Farms – bringing the healing power of horticulture right to our Bethany program!

Thanks to the dedication of individuals associated with the CT ABI Waiver program and their incredible support staff, seedlings are beginning to sprout beautifully, and custom planters have been built in preparation for a variety of exciting projects this spring and summer!

Horticultural therapy provides so many benefits for brain injury survivors: it supports physical rehabilitation through gentle movement and coordination, boosts cognitive skills like memory and focus, reduces stress and anxiety, elevates mood and self-esteem, and fosters a profound sense of purpose, accomplishment, and community connection to nature.

We can’t wait to see all the growth — both in our garden and in the lives of those we support! 💚

Follow along for updates on our green journey.

🐝✨ Over 2 Years of Beautiful Collaboration: SLG’s Inspire Arts + Healing by Growing Farms! 🌿🎨

SLG's Inspire Arts program at our Bethany, CT location has partnered with the incredible team at Healing by Growing Farms — and the results are starting to bloom!

As part of the project, ABI Waiver participants have created these stunning, one-of-a-kind, hand-painted bee hotels. Each one features vibrant flowers, cheerful bee designs, and the empowering message “bee you.” They’re not just functional… they’re true works of art!

These colorful bee hotels will soon be installed throughout the expansive green space surrounding our Bethany building, providing safe nesting sites for solitary bees while beautifully complementing our developing pollinator gardens.

This ongoing partnership brings together creativity, nature, and healing, offering meaningful outdoor therapeutic experiences, skill-building, and a deeper connection to the environment for individuals recovering from acquired brain injuries.

We’re so grateful to Healing by Growing Farms for their continued support and shared commitment to brain injury recovery through hands-on, nature-based activities.

What do you think — which bee hotel design is your favorite? 🌼 Have you ever built or seen a bee hotel in action?

Drop a ❤️ if you love seeing art meet conservation, and tag a friend who would appreciate this!

At The Supported Living Group (SLG), creativity is more than expression; it’s a pathway to rebuilding confidence, connection, and independence after brain injury.

Through our Inspire Arts Program, individuals supported by SLG are guided through a creative process that begins with an idea and grows into meaningful expression. From concept development to initiation and completion, brain injury survivors are supported every step of the way to explore their creativity in a safe, encouraging, and skill-building environment.

What makes this program truly unique is not just the art, it’s the purpose behind it. Participants are developing skills that transfer directly into everyday life after brain injury, including:

Planning and initiation
Attention and task completion
Emotional expression and regulation
Confidence-building and social engagement

At SLG, we are unlike any other ABI Waiver provider agency in Connecticut. We offer a full range of ABI Waiver services internally within our organization, supported by an unparalleled team of clinical, vocational, and management professionals working together to support long-term success in the community.

Inspire Arts reflects what we believe at our core: that every individual has the ability to grow, create, and thrive when given the right support.

A meaningful day of community connection and recovery-focused support, led by SLG Program Manager Joseph Kierwiak.

Joseph accompanied ABI Waiver participant, CJ, on a trip to upstate New York to visit the historic home of Bill W. and Lois W.—the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon. Together, they explored the very space where the recovery movement began, including sitting at the iconic kitchen table and seeing the desk where the Big Book was written.

Experiences like this go far beyond a day trip—they create opportunities for inspiration, reflection, and meaningful personal growth. CJ’s smile says it all. A powerful and moving day that highlights the impact of thoughtful, individualized support in action.
