Community Living Connection
Community Living Connection (CLiC) is a unique, online program with all the convenience of never leaving home. Group participants are empowered to learn about their "new normal" and develop strategies to improve overall wellness. In addition to brain injury education, goals include building dignity, functional skills, and wellness awareness in survivors of brain injuries.
Groups usually meet once or twice per week for 1 to 2.5 hours and are offered on a regular schedule throughout the year.
​
All CLiC programs are provided for free to participants!

"CLiC is very interesting and allows for interaction and support from other brain injury survivors."
Clic Participant
"They are a group of friends I now have. Folks I can count on. CLiC made more of a difference in my attitude and feelings than medications or other counselors. I was in a nasty black hole before CLiC."
