Art & Education for Survivors

Offered concurrent with the Family & Caregiver Support Group

Art therapy is a form of expressive therapy that uses the creative process of making art to improve a person’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. The creative process also helps people to develop and manage their behaviors and feelings, reduces stress, and improves self-esteem and awareness. Each month there will be a different focus.

Family & Caregiver Support Group

Family members provide over 75% of caregiving support in the United States. At Schurig Center, we recognize the enormous pressures and risks of family caregiving—burnout, compromised health, depression and depletion of financial resources. This is a daily reality for millions of American families and it poses a great strain on the caregiver, many of whom are struggling to balance work and family responsibilities. For this reason, we offer the Family & Caregiver Support Group providing a supportive, educational environment to enhance the caregiver’s and the family’s understanding of the cognitive, emotional and life changes resulting from a brain injury.
