Caregiver Support Groups
AHIF recognizes the importance of providing an opportunity for caregivers of traumatic brain injury survivors to interact with one another. Research shows the tremendous impact such peer interaction can have, and how it can help caregivers feel justified in emotions they struggle with, gain insight into strategies for caring for their loved one, and more than anything just help them not feel alone.
AHIF also recognizes that support groups need to remain small, to encourage sharing from all participants and also to ensure that trust can be built within the group. AHIF will utilize "Breakout Rooms" through Zoom to divide caregivers into groups of 3-4 to ensure that all have an opportunity to share and discuss, and not get lost in a large group of participants. For more information, or to be matched into a group, please e-mail us at caregiver@ahif.org. |
Caregiver Information Sessions
AHIF is pleased to welcome our friends from the UAB Occupational Therapy Program for two sessions, beginning in January 2022, entitled Our Sweet Caregivers. These sessions will meet on Thursdays at 2:00 p.m. through Zoom, and participants are encouraged to attend all five sessions to get the full experience.
