When my brain injury makes it difficult to communicate ideas, I try to find one item to focus on. It helps to center your attention on the message you want to convey such as that March is Brain Injury Awareness Month.
Sharon Stone Presents - Shedding: Prelude
During moments when I feel overwhelmed I find inspiration from other creative folks. One of these is a artist who uses art to express her personal experiences with brain injury - Sharon Stone. She presents her gallery show: Shedding: Prelude at Allouche Gallery.
Find Local Resources
Brain Injury Awareness Month is also a good time to introduce those in need of assistance with available resources. The Brain Injury Association of America has a handy map on their website.
Follow the link to find a nationwide network of chartered state affiliates that can offer direct support and advocacy for individuals living with brain injury, their friends and family, professionals and the general public.
Happy Travels!
