Living Resources believes that individuals who have suffered brain injuries deserve the opportunity to establish meaningful post-injury roles and relationships. At Living Resources we strive to educate, train, encourage and patiently guide survivors of acquired brain injuries and their loved ones throughout this process.

Living Resources Brain Injury Services offers a comprehensive treatment program for people with traumatic and/or acquired brain injuries.

Individuals living in the community have access to a wide range of structured day programming including:

  • Acceptance Groups
  • Fine Arts Instruction
  • Life Skills Training
  • Conversation/Social Groups
  • Friday Community Outings/Events
  • Health & Wellness Groups

Pictured are Living Resources team members who worked in the Brain Injury Program in 2024. Thank you for your hard work and dedication!

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.

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.
