Traumatic Brain Injury Women's Support Group
A monthly gathering place for women to discuss their cognitive and emotional needs, grapple with challenges common to female survivors of brain injury and to learn from the experiences of their peers. Group members remark that when they come to group, they feel understood, at ease and accepted, something often lacking in their everyday relationships.
Women interested in attending a meeting of the group can contact Dr. Wayne Gordon at wayne.gordon@mssm.edu. For schedule and location call 212-241-5152.
