Provide information about support groups around the state. The groups operate independently of BIAV but are provided technical assistance as they want from BIAV. Groups provide personal support and fellowship from members and help people who are living with a brain injury - either their own, or that of a loved one. Facilitators and group members help each other adapt to living a life affected by brain injury and provide fellowship and understanding. Some groups offer educational programming, recreational, and/or advocacy activities depending on the preference of the members. A complete listing of support groups throughout Virginia for people with brain injury and their families is available online in our directory: https://www.biav.net/resource-directory
