Supportive Living, Inc

Supportive Living, Inc. (SLI) is a nonprofit health care organization that serves people living with brain injury and other neurological conditions. It provides welcoming, affordable residences designed around the needs of people with brain injury, along with specialized classes and activities that support physical and mental health. The organization says it goes beyond traditional health care models, taking a holistic approach to care and community in its mission to enhance the lives of those it serves.

Programs give residents ways to rebuild strength and confidence. At Old Farm in Rockport, residents tend gardens and take on landscaping projects that improve the property while building independence and pride through meaningful work; this season, residents Ed and Spencer led much of it. Yoga classes, including chair yoga, help participants improve flexibility, mobility and body awareness, using breathing practices to reduce stress, sleep better and support focus and emotional balance.
