NeuroSparks
Our NeuroSparks Retreat is an innovative program created to help brain injury survivors who are 2-3 years post-injury and have reached a general plateau of physical, mental and emotional recovery. The three-day intensive program is designed to help survivors “spark” their recovery by building new skills in an interactive, engaging, and positive way. In addition to helping brain injury survivors, there will be specialized sessions designed to help caregivers—as the daily challenges of providing care for TBI survivors can be overwhelming, stressful and isolating. Space is limited, and spots will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
