We Help Your Patients Continue Recovery After Brain Injury
Schurig Center is a Trusted Community Resource After Medical Rehabilitation
After a patient leaves the hospital or completes traditional rehabilitation, the recovery journey often continues. Many survivors and families find themselves asking: What happens next? They may feel uncertain, isolated, and unsure where to turn for continued support.
Schurig Center for Brain Injury Recovery helps bridge the gap between medical care and long-term recovery for adults living with the effects of an acquired brain injury. We partner with healthcare professionals by providing a trusted resource where patients can continue developing skills, building confidence for daily living, and reconnecting with their communities after discharge from traditional rehabilitation services.
Schurig Center is a nonprofit community center dedicated exclusively to helping people affected by brain injury. Our programs are designed for individuals who have completed initial medical treatment or insurance-covered rehabilitation but continue to benefit from ongoing support, skill development, and community connection. We provide:
- Continued cognitive rehabilitation
- Brain injury education
- Therapeutic classes and groups
- Survivor and caregiver support
- Community reintegration opportunities
- Resource referral assistance
Our programs are facilitated by professionals with experience in brain injury rehabilitation, education, and supportive services. We serve people from Marin, Sonoma, San Francisco, and the greater Bay Area. Services are offered on-site at our center in Larkspur, CA as well as online using Zoom.
How to Refer a Patient
A physician referral is not required to participate in Schurig Center’s programs. To refer a patient, encourage them to contact Schurig Center directly. Our Intake & Resource Coordinator will speak with the individual or family member to discuss their goals, needs, and interests to determine if Schurig Center’s services are a good fit.
