Brain Aneurysm Recovery & Support

Supportive Brain Aneurysm Recovery

The Brain Aneurysm Institute at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) provides the latest in research-backed options for those who’ve had a brain aneurysm. This includes ongoing support and recovery care for you and your family.

Understanding the Recovery Process

Recovery (rehabilitation) from a brain aneurysm can be a challenging, lifelong process. It is impossible to predict how long it will take to improve, or how much improvement you can expect.

We know that those who receive treatment for an unruptured aneurysm generally recover more quickly, with less rehabilitative therapy, than those whose aneurysm has ruptured.

We also know that hope plays an important part in the recovery process. There are many steps on the road to recovery. We’re with you on this journey.

Information on Recovery

The Brain Aneurysm Foundation offers a wealth of information on the recovery process for brain aneurysm covering these key topics:

Recovery After Aneurysm Support Group

The Brain Aneurysm Institute offers a monthly support group for those recovering from a brain aneurysm or receiving arteriovenous malformation (AVM) treatment and their loved ones.

The main goal of these free, drop-in support groups is to help you and your family members during the recovery phase of the illness. Those in recovery need a lot of support from family members and significant others, who also are going through a period of adjustment.

Support groups provide a valuable service not only for counseling and support, but also for socializing and information sharing.

You don’t need to register for this support group. We provide refreshments for those who attend in person. Or you may join the support group virtually via Zoom. For those who join our mailing list, we send the invitation one week before.
