Once a brain injury survivor is home from the hospital, sub-acute facility or residential rehab, he or she must begin the process of building a new life around his or her disability.
This can be a difficult adjustment for some people, especially those who have always felt their job defined them, or those whose personality has been dramatically changed by their injury.
Whether you are still in recovery or years out from your brain injury, you should take that important and positive step forward and acquire training in independent living skills and avail yourself of benefits for which you may be eligible.
Community services specifically for people with
brain injury are few and far between. And most service providers don't
understand brain injury well enough to provide the accommodations you may find helpful in
getting your needs met.
We have developed a network of connections that can help you navigate the maze of social services. We can also introduce you to the compensatory tools, strategies and accommodations that are an important part of independent living. And we can help your family members avoid caregiver burn-out.
We also have service providers speak at our meetings on occasion. Topics range from rehab best practices to memory tips to how the state's budget may affect In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) funding.
