Brain Injury Clubhouses: Find *Your* Community

We know that people with brain injuries often feel alone. Listen to Claire Motto Steil from Empower House, a family-oriented brain injury clubhouse in Iowa. Similar to BIN, they also follow the weekly work order day. They also have additional evening activities such as dinners and outside events for their current members and guests and to attract new members. Member feedback has shown that the benefits of membership include better quality of life, communication, social skills, and friendships. Future goals are Clubhouse growth, getting their name out in the community, and expanding the number of the counties they serve. Overall, the common theme is to connect with others so that no one feels alone after their brain injury.
