BRIDGES
NKY Support Group and Engagement Programs
Bridges is a Northern Ky Brain Injury Support group established in April 2004 at the request of numerous brain injured survivors and family members.
The acronym of BRIDGES means BRain Injury Demands Guidance Education and Support.
We are Better Together!
On November 1st, 2020 Bridges officially merged with Brain Injury Alliance NKY.
Under BIANK's umbrella, Bridges will continue to serve the survivor community by offering monthly support groups and direct involvement. As a joint operation, BIANK will strengthen initiatives and continue to provide outreach, resources, education, and prevention awareness.
Our focus remains the same: To walk with brain injury survivors in their journey and provide hope by being a source of support.
