Title:
The Survivors - Family Challenges and Triumphs After Brain Injury
Entry Number:
352-PTF-2002
Description:
The series promotes the view that the experience of brain injury is shared by loved ones, friends, colleagues and the injured person alike; they are all 'survivors'. Each of the topics presented is in the words of the survivors, and downplays the 'professional as expert'. Instead, its the people directly affected by brain injury who take the center stage. This first program provides an overview of the series. It introduces viewers to the powerful issues - loss, dependence, role changes, communication challenges - they'll be grappling with as they work with other survivors in groups, and with loved ones and friends in the years to come.
