If you’re near Bonneau, SC and looking for stroke / brain-injury support, you may need to travel some — but there are a few reasonably nearby resources in South Carolina. Here are some to check out:

✅ Nearby Support & Resources

Brain Injury Association of South Carolina (BIASC)

• This is a statewide organization offering support groups for brain injury survivors and caregivers. BIA South Carolina
• They also run monthly virtual support groups (so travel isn’t required) — a good option if there’s no convenient in-person group near you. BIA South Carolina
• Toll-free in SC: 1-877-TBI-FACT (824-3228) — could be a good first contact to ask for groups closer to Bonneau or nearby counties. SC Department of Public Health

Roper Rehabilitation Hospital — Stroke & Neuro-Caregiver Support Groups (Charleston area)

• In Charleston, Roper runs a monthly “Stroke Support Group” (survivors & caregivers) — first Thursday of each month, 3:30–4:30 pm. Meetings alternate between in-person and virtual. www.stroke.org
• They also run a “Neuro Caregiver Support Group of the Lowcountry” — for caregivers of stroke/brain-injury survivors — via Zoom. Roper St. Francis Healthcare

MUSC Health / Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital — Lowcountry Stroke Support Groups

• There is a “Lowcountry Support Stroke Group” (3rd Thursday each month at 5:30 pm) at Encompass Health Rehab Hospital (North Charleston / Charleston area). Roper St. Francis Healthcare
• Also other related support offerings — like online resources for stroke survivors and caregivers through MUSC Health’s stroke recovery center. College of Health Professions

📞 What to Do — First Steps & Tips

• Call BIASC at 1-877-TBI-FACT — ask if there are any support-groups or resources for brain-injury or stroke survivors near Bonneau (or nearest county).
• If you’re able to travel to Charleston / North Charleston (about 1–1.5 hrs south of Bonneau), consider joining in-person or virtual groups at Roper or Encompass Health.
• If travel is difficult, use BIASC’s virtual meetings or ask if there are other remote/online groups available.

If you like — I can pull up a list of 5–10 of the closest support-groups (stroke / brain-injury / caregiver) within a ~2-hour drive from Bonneau (with addresses, contact info and travel times). Do you want me to build that list for you now?
