Concussions are more common than many people realize—but real information about them is often clouded by myths and media portrayals. At The Supported Living Group, we understand the unique challenges people face when recovering from a traumatic brain injury (TBI), whether caused by a fall, car accident, or other everyday event. Our specialized services, including the Connecticut ABI Waiver program and private pay brain injury supports, are designed to meet individuals exactly where they are in their healing journey.

The human capacity for resilience is extraordinary, but when it comes to recovering from a brain injury, the journey can often seem insurmountable. For survivors, the road to independence and reintegration into society requires not only personal determination but also adequate systemic support. In the United States, one of the most vital lifelines for survivors of acquired brain injuries (ABI) is the Medicaid ABI Waiver program. However, a severe shortage of available waiver slots across the country, including Connecticut, has created a crisis for brain injury survivors and their families—a crisis that warrants urgent attention.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can lead to a host of complications, one of the most profound being aphasia. Aphasia is a language disorder that affects a person’s ability to communicate, significantly impacting their quality of life. Understanding the potential impact of aphasia after a brain injury is crucial for providing appropriate support and care.
