About the Brain Injury Family Support Forum

Brain Injury Family Support Forum

By Marilyn Lash, Editor

“Spend a day with me…walk a mile in my shoes.” Amid the changing landscape of professionals, programs and agencies, families are the constant in the life of a person with a brain injury. Yet too few people realize what it is like, day to day, unless they are a family member.

The Family Forum has articles by family members about their experiences, the ups and the downs, the struggles and the rewards. It is a place for information and support. We believe that families can also educate professionals about the journey of brain injury recovery over time by sharing their experiences.

The road to recovery is often complicated, confusing and filled with ruts, potholes and wrong turns. Yet there are also surprises and rewards as families witness the progress of a spouse, child, parent or sibling reclaiming life after a brain injury. Hope is very important as families travel this journey that has no end. It is an ongoing path throughout the life of a survivor. We hope that this forum helps families navigate this journey.
