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. |
