BRAIN SUPPORT NETWORK
Mission Statement
Brain Support Network has three missions: First, Brain Donation (scope: USA): We promote and facilitate brain donation for individuals diagnosed with any neurological disorder. Second, Family Education (scope: Worldwide): We help busy families identify the best resources so that they can have meaningful discussions with medical providers and serve as effective advocates Third, Caregiver Support Group (scope: Northern California, USA): We convene monthly caregiver support group meetings in Northern California. These meetings are for family caregivers only and focus on the four Atypical Parkinsonisms (LBD, PSP, MSA, CBD).
