We recommend the following groups who offer their support.
If you wish to bring one to our attention, please email us at info@guardianbrain.com.
Volunteer professionals are needed to help facilitate a support group for patients
- Brain Tumors
- Brain Cancer
- Brain Injuries
- Care Givers
There is a tremendous need for facilitators and support for patients with injuries and tumors of the brain.
People often feel isolated and alone. Often people are not prepared for this frightening time in their lives. A support group is a wonderful opportunity for patients and their families to learn more about their illness, and how to communicate with family, friends and their doctors. Always remember their is help. Just learn to ask.
