Selected Resources for Family Caregivers
These local and national organizations provide information, advocacy, empowerment, and support groups. Many have links to services in local areas.
Remember, don't limit yourself to resources related to brain injury only. Think of the symptoms or issue you want help with, and look up that an organization for people dealing with similar concerns.
