Global Neurosciences Institute Support Groups

We Are Here For You

Global Neurosciences Institute (GNI) Foundation’s Support Groups provide patients, families, caregivers, and loved ones with a safe space to share challenges and experiences without judgment. Connecting with others facing similar situations fosters empowerment, promotes a sense of control, and helps reduce stress and feelings of isolation.

Support Groups

GNI is pleased to offer two dedicated support groups that meet monthly via Zoom: Stroke Support Group and Chiari Support Group. Each session is led by our expert physicians and guest speakers, providing a supportive environment where questions are welcomed, and relevant topics are discussed.

Below, you can find links to register and view the upcoming schedules:

Need for Peer Support, Hope and Encouragement

Not everyone copes with life’s difficulties the same way. Our program offers support and help patients need to adjust to changes in their lives. Sharing similar problems is a way to learn to live with those changes. The aim of our program is to unite patients around their common experiences to find positive solutions and support for each other.

The open, non-judgmental, nature of our Support Groups is one of the best ways to feel that you’re not alone.

We are all social, needing plenty of contact and connection with one another to thrive. But for many of our patients, who may have a wide range of disabilities, maintaining social contacts can be difficult. That’s why a connection to our Support Groups is so important.

• We counter loneliness and isolation. One of the most difficult realities after a neurologic event or diagnosis.
• We provide a non-judgmental, compassionate space where you can talk about your feelings.
• We give you ways to improve your coping skills and help you adjust to a new life situation.
• We work to reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and fatigue.
• We provide different information about your medical team, treatments, and other resources you may not have known about or know you will need in the future.
• We bring together new friends who are dealing with similar situations.

Experience to Help You Successfully Adapt

Recovery is not a linear process. Our programs are not about comparing stories. They are about communicating and being tuned in to your life, to help with changing needs and concerns.
