COVID-19 Statement: The safety of our clients and caregivers is our first and most important goal as an organization. Therefore, despite our sincere desire to provide "in-person" programing to our clients and their families, AHIF has made the choice to continue with "Virtual Support Groups" through the end of 2020.
Support Group Meetings
Alabama Head Injury Foundation is pleased to offer two Zoom-based "Virtual Support Group" meetings per week throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. If you are interested in attending one of these meetings, please contact your local Resource Coordinator, or e-mail us at info@ahif.org.
