About the Survivor Forum

Individuals who live with the consequences of brain injuries have something very special to offer other survivors, family members, and professionals. It is hard for anyone who has not been through it to fully understand what it means to have a brain injury, to relearn how to function and live again, and to slowly move forward in life again.

The Survivor Forum has articles by survivors about their recoveries and their lives. It is a place for information and support for other survivors. It may also help families understand what it means for a survivor to live with a brain injury.

Professionals often have intensive but brief relationships with survivors while they are in their programs or receiving treatment. Professionals often wonder what happens to these survivors “down the road”. We believe that survivors can also educate professionals about the journey of recovery over time by sharing their experiences.

The road to recovery is often complicated, confusing and filled with ruts and potholes. It is also a journey that has no end. It is an ongoing path throughout the life of a survivor. We hope that this forum helps survivors navigate this journey.
