The Head Trauma Support Project, Inc. (HTSP) began in 1979 as families of adults with acquired brain injury (ABI) united to support one another throughout the journey. ABI may result from a traumatic brain injury (e.g., an insult to the brain by external physical force) or a nontraumatic brain injury (e.g., strokes, tumors, infectious diseases, etc.). At that time, no Sacramento area resources existed to help this population or their families adjust to life after an ABI.
Over the years, HTSP expanded to include all those living with ABI including adults with ABI, significant others, families and friends, caregivers, as well as medical and rehabilitation professionals. HTSP brings people together with a common goal of promoting a better understanding of living well after ABI, strengthening social networks, increasing life participation and enhancing quality of life. HTSP empowers individuals to improve their potential and lead fuller lives.
To improve the quality of life for survivors of brain injury, and their families and caregivers in Sacramento County and surrounding counties.
Before Covid we met weekly and had a location that supported larger groups and more activities. Since that time we are working our way back to that and need the funds to provide it.
