Heidi Lerner facilitates a support group for people living in the community with brain injuries. She helps participants come to better understand and manage their symptoms of injury. Heidi creates a trusting, fun-loving social atmosphere, one in which participants feel comfortable socializing with others that have similar experiences and concerns. Attenders of Gray Matters Support Group feel that what they have to say is valued and that their input helps others.

In the group, Heidi helps survivors develop interpersonal skills, improve communication, as well as boost self-confidence. Personal empowerment via self-advocacy is the tone of the group. We check in with everyone and problem solve when such support is needed. Participants share personal stories and successful solutions regarding problems associated with brain injury. The group helps participants to better accommodate for challenges, as is needed to improve one’s life. In this way, Gray Matters Support Group facilitates rehabilitation post-injury.
