My TBI Support group is great. A strong part is that after a group presentation, the group divides between injured and caregivers. Caregivers need the support of other caregivers as much as we need it, maybe even more. They get a chance to talk with others who understand our behaviors and struggles.

We have a FaceBook page but it is by invitation only to post comments. We are trying to use it for announcements but the monthly mailings and reminders of meetings were better.

We have between 10 and 20 injured and usually more caregivers. We lost our funding this past year so we have to be tighter with the spending. We have three socials a year. A Christmas dinner, bowling party before summer break and barbeque for the fall restart.

I suggest not getting overly complex until you have a good core group.
