The Journey – Healing Through Self-Expression
Join us for a series of inspiring presentations designed to help you explore the many ways of sharing your lived experience with brain injury. Each week, you are invited to join fellow survivors who will share their personal experiences using many different forms of self-expression. We will explore using the arts, such as painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, pottery, music, the written word, hand crafting, sewing and more, to express our inner selves and support us on the journey toward living well.
The series will be ongoing. There will be a different presentation each week. Grab a cup of tea, coffee, or water, settle in for an enjoyable hour with kindred spirits and BE INSPIRED!

BIA-MA is Offering Virtual Support Groups
Brain injury can have a traumatic effect on both survivors and their families. BIA-MA sponsors support groups across the state that provide survivors and their loved ones a forum for sharing information, a compassionate and understanding peer group, and an opportunity to socialize and make new friends with others.
Recreation activities are sponsored in part by the Statewide Head Injury Program, Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission. RSVP required for all events. Limited spaces available. Activities will take place online using video teleconferencing. These are private brain injury groups, not open to the general public.
