How YOU Can Help

 There are a number of things that YOU can do to help those with brain injuries. The most important thing is to just be there. Be compassionate and understanding. Be honest and know that their brains are relearning everything all over again. So you cannot beat around the bush. You cannot make empty promises. You cannot give them false hope. Because we don't know how to interpret signals that are not extremely direct. Seek understanding, if they are doing something you don't like, tell them! Reach out to me if you have questions that you don't want to ask them specifically. Do not abandon us. We are warriors and we have to fight every single second. Teach your children, nieces, nephews, friends, anyone about brain injuries so that we can reduce the stigma. People are afraid of us. Talk about head injuries and the importance of wearing a helmet. Reach out to communities that help those with disabilities - that do fun things! - like Wasatch Adaptive Sports or National Ability Center. Buy these T-Shirts and wear them around! I have all of the profits going to the Brain Injury Alliance of the United States of America. Thank you and God Bless you for the support!!
