Peer Support
Connect with a community of people who can relate to you or your loved one’s struggles with PCS or suspected CTE.
CLF Zoom support groups
Are you interested in attending weekly or monthly support group meetings via Zoom to talk with other patients and caregivers navigating persistent post-concussion symptoms (PPCS), also known as Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS), or suspected Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)?
CLF Canada is working alongside CLF US to expand our peer support programs for patients and caregivers looking for connection and community.

CLF Facebook Resources Groups
Are you struggling to find peers who can relate to you or your loved one’s struggles with PPCS or suspected CTE? Need to vent to people who get it?
Join our CLFC Post-Concussion Peer Support Facebook Group. Canadians are also welcome to join our groups facilitated by our US counterparts, the PCS Resources Facebook group or the CTE Resources Facebook group to connect with members of the CLF community. The groups are private, and monitored by CLF to maintain a safe, respectful environment for all members.
These groups are a great forum for resources, support, coping strategies, and finding hope for those coping with or caring for someone with post-concussion symptoms or suspected CTE.
If you or a loved one have suffered a recent concussion, are struggling with lingering symptoms, or are concerned about CTE, we want to hear from you.
