HIANN offers many interesting programs to allow members to improve their cognitive, physical and mental health. However, many members have expressed a desire for a support group meeting where they can share the trials and tribulations of living life with brain injury and/or supporting someone with a brain injury. In response to this request, HIANN now offers monthly support group meetings in Reno and Carson City on the 4th Monday of every month in 2022. The Monthly Support Group Meeting will be held in-person and on Zoom.

Some of the topics that will be covered include:

• Survivor Tool Kit

• Nutrition and Health

• Organization Skills

• Caregiver Burnout

• Other topics of interest raised by attendees

HIANN will share resources and information gathered over the years and other ways HIANN can help you live a more fulfilling life. HIANN will provide light snacks and drinks so you won’t have to deal with dinner. All you have to do is attend and participate in the discussion.

We have a wonderful event scheduled on January 24th in Sparks at the First Baptist Church. Veronica Spurlock-Harmon, a HIANN Board Member most of you know, will be presenting on Getting Organized. Forgetting to do things is very common after brain injury. The ability to arrange information, materials and activities in an orderly way is essential to getting through our daily lives and to learning. Organization is key to staying on track and getting things done. This Support Group Meeting will be beneficial to all HIANN members, whether you have a brain injury or not.

There is no limit to the number of people that we can accommodate, so please feel free to invite        anyone that you think would find our speaker’s topic of interest. Please send your reservation requests to Susan Baumruck at susanbaumruck@gmail.com or call/text (775) 771-2950.
