Brain Injury Support Group Meeting
Wednesday, December 1, 2004
Thirty-two survivors, caregivers, and friends present
� We began with introductions and giving a brief statement as to the circumstances that brought us to the meeting. 32 people attended making for a diverse group of survivors/caregivers who sustained injuries as a result of anoxia, stroke and TBI.
� We met at 2990 Voyager Dr. in Green Bay instead of St. Vincent Hospital. The decision to temporarily relocate was made for various reasons. Some of which were: easy access, closer parking, and more comfortable environment.
� Members were made aware of a brochure and a website that are being constructed about our support group known as Making New Connections."
� We heard from a TBI survivor who suffered her injury 21 years ago, Her description of her journey from the accident to having a new baby recently was an inspiring story.
� The "Break Out Session" where survivors/ caregivers divide into two groups allowing them to interact and privately express their concerns and challenges seemed to be beneficial for many.
