Family Caregiver Support Group

In an effort to address the unmet emotional needs of family members who provide care for individuals living with brain injury, the Krempels Brain Injury Foundation has two Family Caregiver Support Groups.

Now in its fourth year, the original group meets on a weekly basis on Wednesdays from 9:30 to 11:00 am at the Community Campus in Portsmouth, NH. This group provides an opportunity for family caregivers of people living with brain injury to develop and nurture their own base of support. The format for these groups is informal – group members come when they can; the agenda varies from facilitated discussions to guest speakers regarding legal, financial and medical issues, and guided emotional healing experiences.

We also offer individualized Reiki sessions during the morning support group meeting on the 2nd Wednesday of every month. Please see the SteppingStones Schedule for the dates.

Starting March 6, 2008 - the newest group offering will meet on the first and third Thursday of every month from 7-8:30pm, also at the Community Campus.

Please contact Lisa Hanson at (603) 433-9821 or email familysupport@krempelsfoundation.org if you have any questions or ideas.
