Another Fork in the Road: Transition from Recovery to Living with Brain Injury

Transitioning from recovery from brain injury to settling into life after brain injury is no doubt difficult. Reshaping and rebuilding a new life to accommodate the changes caused by brain injury can be challenging. Tonight's panel, survivor, Deb Brandon and caregiver, Fruit (Grace) Mauzy join me as we examine this topic.
