Discussing Community Re-Integration for ABI Eligible Participants Ahead of TRC Open House

MHA's Vice President of New Way Services & Professional Development, Sara Kyser, sat down with Mass Appeal's Co-host Patrick Berry to discuss MHA's Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) program, The Resource Center (TRC), and its upcoming open house.

"Folks are automatically allowed to attend this program through the Acquired Brain Injury and Moving Forward Plan. Those are the waivers that allow people to come out of the nursing home to engage with their community, where they live and where they had their families. This is an opportunity to come back into the community to build those skills and find community again...It's that opportunity to find out what's next," said Sara.

MHA's Open House! April 8th, 2025 at 47 Capital Drive, West Springfield, MA 01089. The Resource Center, a day program at MHA, helps members overcome barriers through natural, sutainable community supports and life-stage appropriate accomodations. By degsigning services and interventions individually, we seek to honor pre-injury lifestyles, cultures, family and environment. Every program and activity we offer creates opportunities for independence.
Join us, meet our members, participate in hands-on demonstration and experience everything this transformative program has to offer you or a loved one. Refreshments will be served.

MHA is actively seeking referrals for The Resource Center. If you or somebody you know is interested in learning more, TRC will be hosting an open house on April 8th from 1:00-3:00 pm at 47 Capital Drive in West Springfield. To learn more, visit www.mhainc.org/resource-center.
