Family Forum on Brain Injury ◊

Families share their information and experiences on life after brain injury by discussing its impact on husbands, wives, sons, daughters and parents. Topics by parents of children with brain injuries discuss parenting a child with a brain injury, advocacy for special education, and helping brothers and sisters. Families of adults with brain injury write about the effects on their marriage and relationships. Articles on loss and grief reveal the emotional trauma of families and give suggestions for coping.
