At The Brain Charity's centre
Support groups offer a way for people affected by a condition to share experiences.
You can be sure of a warm welcome from all support groups that meet at The Brain Charity. They are a great way of meeting new people, building confidence and learning new coping strategies.
While many of the support groups listed below meet at our centre in Liverpool, others offer online meetings and may be able to involve you virtually if you cannot travel to Merseyside.
If you need more information on any of the support groups below, or if you would like to discuss setting up a new support group to meet at The Brain Charity, please email activities@thebraincharity.org.uk.
