Due to my injury, I have always felt like an outsider. This group is my home. I feel free and comfortable. It is the only place where people can empathize with what I am going through.
Many of our consumers are funded through the New York State Department of Health Traumatic Brain Injury Waiver Program. Other funding depends on the type of service you require. You are welcome to consult with us about these issues without cost to you.

I like coming here. It’s the only place I can come to talk about things freely. I learn things, make new friends and have contacts, and socialize . I am not closed in my own world. I have an outlet.
