Brain injuries in Tennessee result from a wide range of scenarios, from car crashes to slip-and-fall accidents to medical malpractice. Severe brain injuries can cause paralysis, memory loss, loss or reduction in motor skills or speech abilities, and other life-altering consequences.
To help survivors deal with the emotional impact of a traumatic brain injury, the Tennessee Department of Health offers a list of support groups for Tennessee residents who have suffered a serious brain injury. Brain injury support groups in the Chattanooga area include:
- Siskin Rehab Hospital holds three separate support groups: one for survivors in general, one specifically for military veterans, and one for young adults. The first two sessions are held the fourth Monday of every month, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and the young adult session is held the third Tuesday of every month from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Sessions are generally held at the hospital.
- Wesley United Methodist Church in Cleveland also hosts a brain injury support group on the third Monday of every month. The group meets from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
- Fort Oglethorpe Methodist Church, just across the border in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, hosts a support group as well, every second Thursday from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Similar support groups meet throughout Tennessee, and they provide help for those struggling to adapt after a traumatic brain injury.
