While there is a lot of information to be gained from the medical community, the subtle and at times not so subtle nuances that come with living the brain injury life can’t be taught from books. As a TBI survivor, my own lived experience is my greatest asset in my advocacy work. It’s the sharing of this lived experience that creates strong bonds and lifelong friendships within the survivor community.
