My name is Frank. I am a member of The Mill House of Richmond, VA. The Mill House is a clubhouse for survivors of brain injury. Even though I very much do not like my injury, I really enjoy The Mill House.
Reasons I like The Mill House:
Reason #1: It’s like the job I had most of my life, it fits my style. The Mill House stops me from just sitting around the house with nothing to do day by day. I like to be busy.
Reason #2: I see all people with different backgrounds and personalities which is like the life I was accustomed to before my injury.
Reason #3: The Mill House set me up with support groups. The name of the support group is the Supportive Survivors Support Group. It meets every Tuesday at Regency Square Mall in the food court. A group of us, injury survivors and sometimes families, talk about our experiences during the week and have dinner with each other. I also attend a brain injury support group at the Children’s Hospital in Richmond, VA. It is held by the Brain Injury Association of Virginia every third Monday of the month. I try to attend the group as much as possible. I have been to this support group meeting over years so much that I consider most of who come as family. BIAV (Brain Injury Association of Virginia) will hold an ice cream and game party in August for the support group meeting. I love it.
I feel The Mill House is an outstanding clubhouse. I also think the support groups are great. The Mill House and both support groups are great ideas for survivors of brain injury and their families.
