You Are Not Alone.

Each Year Over Two Million people survive traumatic Brain Injuries.

THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO TRULY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH ARE OTHER SURVIVORS. We’re here to help survivors help other survivors.

Please email us at info@braininjurysurvivors.net if you are interested in group or individual meetings. We do not charge for an initial one-on-one meeting, but we do ask for small donations for subsequent sessions. In your email, leave your name, nature of your injury, and, if you prefer a call from us, your phone number.

We also have a network of survivors who can partner with you as “coaches”. This is particularly beneficial to those of you who are less than a year out from your injury.

OUR NEXT ZOOM PEER-TO-PEER MEETING WILL BE ON WEDNESDAY, FEBURARY 4, 2026. WE NORMALLY MEET ON THE FIRST AND THIRD WEDNESDAYS OF EACH MONTH. PLEASE EMAIL US SO THAT WE CAN ADD YOU TO OUR LIST OR USE THE CONTACT BUTTON AT THE TOP OF THE HOME PAGE. YOU’LL RECEIVE A ZOOM INVITE A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE MEETING. EMAIL: info@braininjurysurvivors.net

All brain injuries are different.

Brain Injury Survivors was founded by aneurysm survivor Denzil Strickland, author, former professor and retired business owner.

While there are commonalities among brain injuries, each one is different in its own ways. Some survivors experience serious physical deficits; others show few outward aftereffects. In some cases, deficits such as dizziness, and memory impairment or difficulty concentrating are largely unseen by others. You'll hear people with perfectly good intentions say things like 'You seem great' or 'Everyone has memory problems. You're just like all of us.' Yet, you know you're not the same as you were before. You know that sometimes you simply don't feel like yourself.

Virtually all survivors are adversely affected emotionally. Many experience depression, headaches and sleeping disorders. It’s not uncommon to feel overwhelmed by formerly simple tasks. Often, survivors go through periods of anger and resentment and have trouble controlling their emotions.

One thing we all have in common: we need to talk to other survivors. Not only can we share our experiences with one another, we can share information about new research and resources that help our brains get better.

By sharing, we can help each other.
