When a loved one sustains an acquired brain injury (ABI), life changes instantly—and permanently. Yet despite the profound cognitive, behavioral, medical, and emotional needs that follow a brain injury, families are often discharged from hospitals or inpatient rehabilitation with minimal education, limited preparation, and an overwhelming expectation to “figure it out” at home.

As Connecticut’s largest provider of community-based ABI Waiver services, we at The Supported Living Group see the consequences of this systemic gap every day. Families who desperately want to support their loved one simply haven’t been given the information, training, or guidance they need. And the impact—on safety, stability, finances, and long-term outcomes—is significant.

The holiday season is a time for celebration, connection, and reflection. However, for families of brain injury survivors, this time of year can also bring unique challenges. From sensory overload to changes in routine, navigating the holidays requires extra care and understanding. At The Supported Living Group, we understand the importance of creating a supportive environment for survivors and their loved ones.

For brain injury survivors and their families, navigating the complexities of care can be overwhelming. The last thing anyone needs is to fall victim to predatory marketing practices that exploit vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, in Connecticut's Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) service industry, some providers are employing funnel marketing techniques to lure individuals into subpar or even harmful care arrangements.
