Findings: The findings formed the theme 'The group rehabilitation helped me adjust to a new life' that revealed experiences related to the content and outcome of the programme, as well as the process they went through during the programme. The participants described how the rehabilitation gave them the tools they needed to change their everyday lives, especially in relation to improved knowledge and learning new routines and habits. They perceived their rehabilitation as a long-term, individual, but also collaborative process, where professionals as well as family and friends had crucial roles. Conclusion: Learning how persons with acquired brain injury experience participation in a group rehabilitation programme can help to unravel parts of the 'black box of rehabilitation' and can support professionals to better understand the effective components of such programmes.
