While many people receive good care in the hospital, most find once they are home, they lack supporting resources. This is even more true for many who already have limited means. Survivors of brain injury often find that they are lost and unsure how to navigate life following their injury. Many must relearn how to do everyday activities such as grocery shopping, working, and using a cell phone. Even simply visiting with a friend can be a new challenge. Fortunately, Brain Injury Solutions is here to help turn tragedy into hope! Not only are we here to fill the huge need of support during a challenging time, we provide this support free of charge for survivors of brain injury and their families.</p>
