At Side by Side, our members work alongside staff, other members and…volunteers. We have a dedicated group of people who come to the Clubhouse regularly to help us all get stuff done. With them, we get lunch out on time, plant gardens, run special groups and so much more. They show up with a small,…

#Covid-19 is tough for everyone. We want to highlight all the amazing caregivers out there! Brainline.org is a great resource and they have a wonderful blog post by a family caregiver. “What an awful, scary, and painful time it has been. I’ve wondered what (if anything) I should share.

That means more than 300 days a person with brain injury can work on their personal goals for recovery, regardless of their ability to pay. We appreciate the community’s support…

One of the things I enjoy most about the Clubhouse is the generosity of our members. I tell new volunteers that our members will share moving stories of survival and triumph with them and some of them even travel around the city with Cindi talking to groups about their experiences. Others are generous in giving…
