    Navigating this journey with HABI’s support has had such a huge impact on our lives. HABI is more than just a group, it’s members have become our community where we feel welcome, understood and safe during a time of uncertainty and healing.

    HABI is a very special group that Ive been proud to be a part of since the beginning (way back to 2009). Its a very good group and I’ve learned so much helpful information about brain injury. It really makes a difference that HABI is run by its members – and the group has done a lot to promote awareness of brain injury in our area over the years. The friendships Ive made at HABI will last a lifetime. Its wonderful for HABI to be recognized because its really recognizing the contributions of people with brain injury in creating their own group!
