Meet Janine, For individuals or families navigating a brain injury diagnosis, what advice would you offer to help them along their recovery journey? Recovery from a brain injury is a process that is specific to each individual and it takes time. It does not always a occur in a straight line and everyone recovers differently. Brain injury can be an "invisible" diagnosis and sometimes others cannot see what your symptoms are, but that does not mean they are not real. It is important to be patient as you or your family member recovers and remember that improvements can occur for years after the original injury.
