Headspin is our dedicated support group for young adults, designed for individuals with acquired brain injuries (ABI) or those facing similar challenges. Tailored for high-functioning members, Headspin fosters social connections through engaging, community-based leisure activities. Open to individuals aged 16 to their late 30s, the group thrives on member-driven interests. Past activities have included cooking classes, billiards, paint nights, volunteering, game nights, and more.
Our facilitators bring diverse education, skills, and experience, ensuring they connect meaningfully with members and create a welcoming, supportive environment. We’re committed to helping every participant feel valued and build lasting connections. Join us and be part of a vibrant, supportive community!

“I think that Headspin has impacted me positively because it allows me to meet people who have gone through similar experiences and has helped me improve both my social and speech skills. I think that social connections are important to me because I am an extrovert and I feel energetic and happy when I interact with others. It helps make me forget about the pain and issues that I deal with on a daily basis. BIAPH meetings have made me laugh even when I’m not feeling 100% happy or I’m in pain.”
