As you can imagine, a traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects more than just the injured person; it affects the whole family. And, support from family and friends have a huge impact on the recovery process for someone with a TBI.

DVBIC developed the guides to offer families advice and strategies to cope with the behavioral and emotional changes their loved one with TBI may experience. Further, they help caregivers tackle tough issues, such as how to talk to children about TBI and how to cope with the emotional challenges often associated with caregiving in language that’s easy to understand.
