“I had a stroke in Jan 2022 at age 34, cause by a side effect of a new medication. I was a marketing strategist before my brain injury. Side by Side Brain Injury Clubhouse (SBS) is extremely important to me because I can be in community with others who have and understand the ailments of having a brain injury. The SBS community is critical to me because having a brain injury is an incredibly isolating experience. I’m so grateful for the resources and support SBS is able to provide like vocational assistance and expertise. Without SBS I would feel untethered, downtrodden, and depressed. Coming here gives me purpose.”
