Every July, Disability Pride Month offers a unique opportunity to celebrate the achievements and resilience of individuals with disabilities, including brain injury survivors. For those in Connecticut, supported by organizations like the Supported Living Group (SLG), this month is a time to highlight their journeys, raise awareness about their needs, and advocate for greater inclusion and support.

Brain injuries can profoundly impact an individual's life, leading to cognitive, emotional, and physical challenges. Among the most concerning outcomes is the increased risk of suicidality. Understanding and addressing this risk is crucial for healthcare providers, caregivers, and support services. In this context, the Supported Living Group’s (SLG) community-based non-medical brain injury support services in Connecticut play a vital role.
