SUMMARY:Maine Brain Aneurysm Support Group (affiliated with Maine Medical Center)
DESCRIPTION:Last Thursday of the month \n\n\n6:00 – 7:30pm \n\n\n\nFor more information\, please visit www.mmc.org \n2025 Virtual Meeting \nPlease join us for our next virtual ONLINE SUPPORT GROUP MEETING on Thursday\, October 30 at 6:00pm \nWe hope to welcome new folks and trust past attendees will continue to join us as we share challenges and concerns with others who have been through similar experiences. \nMeeting will formally start at 6:00PM\, but we encourage you to sign-in a few minutes early to ensure you are successfully connected. (We’ll open the room at 5:55PM) \nDealing with a brain aneurysm diagnosis\, either as a survivor\, caregiver\, or family member\, can evoke a wide range of emotions. One of the most powerful aspects of the support group is the opportunity to share and learn from others who have walked a similar path. The exchange of practical tips\, resources\, and coping strategies can be helpful during all stages of recovery. \nAt every other meeting\, we aim to have a guest speaker presenting medical aspects of the condition\, treatment options\, rehabilitation techniques\, and preventive measures. Whether you’re a newly diagnosed patient seeking guidance or a long-term survivor offering encouragement\, the mutual exchange of support fosters a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect. \nPlease be aware that these meetings are not held to offer specific medical advice\, but to provide peer support and education. This is a great place for you to meet and share with others. Together\, we can find strength\, support\, and healing. \nPLEASE EMAIL:  Dave@MaineBA.org   to REGISTER  and we’ll send you the REQUIRED LINK to join the meeting either by internet video or by phone. \nFor more information – visit our website at: www.MaineBA.org
