You Are Not Alone.

Each Year Over Two Million people survive traumatic Brain Injuries.

THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO TRULY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH ARE OTHER SURVIVORS. We’re here to help survivors help other survivors.

Help us connect survivors. We need scholarship money for group retreats and individual counseling. Email us at info@braininjurysurvivors.net.

Please email us at info@braininjurysurvivors.net if you are interested in group or individual meetings. We do not charge for an initial phone meeting, but we do ask for small donations for subsequent individual sessions. We prefer email to phone, but you can also call us at 404-938-8038. Leave your name, nature of your injury, and a phone number that is best to reach you.

All brain injuries are different.

Brain Injury Survivors was founded by aneurysm survivor Denzil Strickland, author, former professor and retired business owner.

While there are commonalities among brain injuries, each one is different in its own ways. Some survivors experience serious physical deficits; others show few outward aftereffects. In some cases, deficits such as dizziness, and memory impairment or difficulty concentrating are largely unseen by others. You'll hear people with perfectly good intentions say things like 'You seem great' or 'Everyone has memory problems. You're just like all of us.' Yet, you know you're not the same as you were before. You know that sometimes you simply don't feel like yourself.

Virtually all survivors are adversely affected emotionally. Many experience depression, headaches and sleeping disorders. It’s not uncommon to feel overwhelmed by formerly simple tasks. Often, survivors go through periods of anger and resentment and have trouble controlling their emotions.

One thing we all have in common: we need to talk to other survivors. Not only can we share our experiences with one another, we can share information about new research and resources that help our brains get better.

By sharing, we can help each other.
