Eligibility: Anyone who has sustained a brain injury or whose loved one has sustained a brain injury.
Services Provided: The Treasure Valley Brain Injury Support Group was founded in 1984. The primary objective of the Support Group is to provide support and education to persons who have sustained a brain injury and their family and friends. There is no charge for participation in the group. Education is provided by professionals from the community during the first half of each meeting. The second half of the meeting is organized as support groups for: (1) persons who have had a brain injury and (2) their family/friends. The groups provide a safe place in which persons can share experiences and problem solve together with support from each other. This support group is in no way considered a "therapy group". Facilitators are present for assistance in topic maintenance and referrals to more formal therapy, if necessary. It is the philosophy of the group that the support of others struggling through similar issues can decrease the isolation and loneliness frequently experienced.

The group meets the fourth Thursday of each month. (except summer months, May, June and July), There is a new guest speaker scheduled every month t present on various issues related to TBI. The groups meet at:
St Lukes Hospital - 600 N. Robbins Road, Boise, ID in the Large Elk Conference Rooms.

Prior to each meeting, flyers of notification and information can be mailed to you.

Respite Care
URL: http://www.ashleycares.com
Services Provided: Residential Care, Adult Hourly Care and Respite Care and Support Groups. Ashley Manor was created to make a difference in the lives of those suffering with memory loss and their families. The Founders started Ashley Manor because they wanted a residential care facility in which they could place their loved ones that dealt with dementia. They were not pleased with the type of care available to their Mom, Dad and Grandfather. However, after an intensive study and collaboration with individuals that had extensive knowledge and experience of Alzheimer’s and other dementias, a dream to create facilities where they could place their loved ones was realized. That place was and is Ashley Manor Care Centers, and those relatives placed, like all other residents, were given the best of care for the rest of their lives.

Services Provided: Love INC was founded in 1977 as a way to encourage churches to become more engaged with the poor and to inspire a greater number of Christians to put their faith in action. As the Love INC ministry grew, so did the need for national leadership and support. In 1988, Love INC became an operating department of World Vision U.S., an international Christian relief and development organization, where it remained for the next 15 years. Under World Vision, Love INC continued to grow throughout the 1990s, and in 2003 Love INC separated from World Vision and again became its own national nonprofit organization, headquartered in Minneapolis. In 2011 Love INC has over 150 affiliates in 30 states, representing a network of more than 9,000 churches, 7,000 community agencies, and nearly 300,000 volunteers meeting more than 1 million needs each year.

Eligibility: Any persons with interest in MSUD
Services Provided: The MSUD Family Support Group membership now includes families and professionals worldwide. This growing organization continues to develop resources to meet its goals of support and education. Informed families and professionals can provide better care for the child with MSUD. Treatment has improved and the future continues to brighten for these children and their families.

The MSUD Family Support Group is dedicated to:
. Providing opportunities for support and personal contact for those with MSUD and their families.
. Distributing information and raising public awareness of MS
. Strengthening the liaison between families and professionals.
. Encouraging newborn screening programs and research for MSUD.

In 1983 the first MSUD Newsletter was printed and distributed throughout the United States and Canada. The Newsletter continues to provide the latest information on the treatment of the disorder, reports on the latest research, current diet information, family news and related topics.

MSUD is an inherited metabolic disorder, if untreated, causes mental retardation, physical disabilities and death. It is a rare disorder, and believed to be found in all ethnic groups (the Mennonite population from eastern Pennsylvania is at high risk for this classic form of the disorder). It was first described as a disease in 1954.
The disorder affects the way the body metabolized (processes) certain components of protein. These components are the three-branched chain amino acids - leucine, isoleucine, and valine. They accumulate in the blood causing a toxic effect that interferes with brain function. The symptoms of classic MSUD are evident within the first week of life. Variant forms are milder; however, the symptoms can be severe during times of illness. Earliest symptoms of classic MSUD, usually observed in the first few days of life are poor appetite, irritability, and the characteristic odor of the urine (distinct sweet smell). Affected infants gradually lose their sucking reflex and become listless, have high-pitched cry and become limp with episodes of rigidity. Without diagnosis and treatment, symptoms progress to seizures, coma and death usually by two weeks of age. The earlier these infants are diagnosed and treated, the less risk of permanent damage.
