What we do.
We fully understand how even "minor" brain injury
can interfere with the ability to manage even simple, routine activities.
We believe that early intervention can prevent disabling secondary consequences
of brain injury. Our case managers interface with your family, doctor,
employer, school, lawyer, and other significant supports so that you can
focus on healing. Sliding-scale fees available

advising, counseling, life skills training, and encouraging positive change

Workshops for survivors
of Traumatic Brain Injuries and their families
-
The family and friends of the survivor feel the psychic
repercussions of the head injury acutely as well.
-
Caring for an injured family member can be very demanding
and result in economic loss and emotional burdens.
-
Brain Injury can change the very nature of family
life; the resultant emotional turmoil can affect the cohesiveness of the
family unit.
-
Typically, the emotional damage is intense, affecting
family and friends for years afterward and sometimes leading to the breakup
of previously stable family units.
