Just as no two brain injuries are alike; no two family’s experiences are either. The realization of this section is in response to several inquiries. With that said, we are pleased to announce the addition of our newly created section called “Children & Brain Injury”. This section is dedicated to understanding more about children living with an acquired brain injury and the families that care for and support them.

We extend the opportunity to share your story, challenges, difficulties, and where able to; your creative efforts, strategies and/or solutions to help others through various similar circumstances. The sharing of information will not only lend moral support to other families, it may also enlighten educators as well as others more intimately.

Parents traditionally see their children through various stages of life. However, where a brain injury has occurred there are additional challenges with the transition back into their family environment and reintegration back into the community. Assuming the child is relatively young; there will be the on-going need for support through various stages with schooling and through their adolescent years, which as we all know comes with their own unique experiences.

Your Input Matters
We will be rolling out this new section in the next several days. We thank those who asked us to consider the idea and welcome other future content suggestions. Please take a moment to tell us what you think and what else you’d like to see. We are listening, and the above is proof of that.

Sincerely,
Brain Injury Forum
