Continued Rehabilitation, Hope, and Community After Brain Injury
Schurig Center is a non-medical, non-profit organization dedicated to helping adults continue their recovery journey after brain injury. We provide rehabilitative programs, education, resources, and community for individuals and families living with the effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI), concussion, stroke, and other acquired brain injuries. Located in Larkspur, California, we serve Marin, Sonoma, San Francisco, and the greater Bay Area.
What We Do
Recovery is a lifelong journey, and many people continue to face challenges after leaving the hospital or completing traditional rehabilitation. Schurig Center helps bridge that gap by providing specialized programs that support long-term recovery and community reintegration after medical rehabilitation has ended. Our programs are designed to help participants improve quality of life while connecting with a supportive community that understands the challenges of brain injury recovery. A doctor’s referral is not needed to attend our programs. Our services include:
- Cognitive rehabilitation programs
- Brain injury survivor support groups
- Caregiver support and education
- Speech therapy and aphasia programs
- Art therapy
- Resource referral assistance
- Brain injury education programs
Who We Serve
Schurig Center serves adults age 18 and older living with the effects of an acquired brain injury, including traumatic brain injury (TBI), concussion, stroke, brain tumor, aneurysm, anoxic brain injury (lack of oxygen), and brain injuries resulting from accidents, falls, illness, infection, or other causes. We also provide education, support, and resources for the family members and caregivers who play an essential role in the recovery journey.
What Makes Schurig Center Unique?
Schurig Center offers a community-based approach to brain injury recovery that extends beyond traditional medical rehabilitation.
We Focus on Continued Recovery
Our programs help participants continue strengthening skills and adapting to life after brain injury, even months or years after their injury.
We Support the Whole Person
Recovery involves more than physical healing. Our programs address cognitive, communication, emotional, social, and creative aspects of recovery to help participants build meaningful, connected lives.
We Believe in the Healing Power of Community
Participants become part of a welcoming community where they can learn, share experiences, encourage one another, and realize they are not alone.
We Make Services Accessible
As a nonprofit organization, we offer affordable, fee-based programs with scholarships available for those who demonstrate need to help ensure financial circumstances are not a barrier to continued rehabilitation.
Our Impact
Every year, Schurig Center helps hundreds of brain injury survivors and family members continue their recovery journey through specialized rehabilitation programs, support services, education, and community connection. Our work helps participants:
- Improve cognitive and communication skills
- Build confidence and independence
- Reduce isolation
- Develop practical strategies for everyday life
- Strengthen relationships
- Re-engage with their communities
- Discover new possibilities after brain injury
Our Mission & History
Schurig Center’s mission is to provide continued rehabilitation, hope, and community for people affected by brain injury. Everything we do is guided by the belief that recovery can continue after medical treatment ends and that every person deserves the opportunity to live a meaningful life after brain injury.
Founded in 1985 by Karen Schurig after her daughter sustained a traumatic brain injury, Schurig Center was created to ensure that no survivor or family would have to navigate recovery alone. What began as a small network of support has grown into a trusted nonprofit providing specialized brain injury programs throughout the Bay Area.
