North Platte Chapter

Connect to the Support Forum

Welcome to the North Platte Chapter of the Nebraska Injured Brain Network

This is a BIG HELLO to everyone in the North Platte area!  We are glad you found us, and we hope you connect with us on this site, or at our Chapter meetings.  Whether you’re a Peer (a person living with an injured brain), a Caregiver, or a Provider, we are on the same team and we are all part of the Injured Brain Community.  We are fulfilled when we spend time with each, and contribute to each other’s Recovery Journey–and sometimes that’s as simple as listening to someone and offering a word of understanding or encouragement, or a hug. 

We are proud to be a Chapter of the Nebraska Injured Brain Network.  When it comes down to it, we’re a lively bunch, and we love having fun.  Joe always has a joke ready to tell, and Shawna usually has a great quip to crack us up.  We can’t wait to hear from you or see you at one of our gatherings. 

We offer Chapter Support Group meetings, as well as Chapter Business Meetings.  Check out the schedule below in the tabs.  Don’t be a stranger!

Support Group

We have multiple Chapter Support Group meeting times, including:

  • Every Tuesday afternoon
  • Always at 2pm, and we meet until 4pm, but some people come late or leave early based on their schedule
  • Due to Covid-19, our meeting place changes weekly.  If you would like to attend, please contact Judy via email at judy_nichelson@outlook.com

We also plan special events that sometimes occur on different days and times, so be on the lookout.  Send Judy an email (judy_nichelson@outlook.com) and get on her announcement list, or keep an eye on the calendar on this site.

On the second Tuesday of each month we conduct our Chapter Business Meeting, also at 2pm at the Public Safety Building, 715 S Jeffers St, North Platte [Postponed until further notice due to Covid-19]
