ASSIST-TBI This is a discussion list for families and friends of persons with brain injury. Participants are invited to share their strength and hope to help others whose journey may just beginning. Several individuals with brain injury who have been around for a while (and have battled back) are on the ASSIST list too, and provide additional perspective. To join the ASSIST-TBI list, click here and fill out the short form. You will receive a Welcome Letter and instructions for participating on the list. Friends, co-workers, family members and clinicians who help persons with brain injury are invited to participate. ASSIST-TBI is a “closed list,” meaning that participant’s messages are archived to be available to others (to preserve confidentiality). |

BRAIN-EDU This list started out as a list for parents who were interested in educational issues related to their children’s education. It has since grown to include college guidance counselors, adults with brain injury who have returned to college, speech pathologists, neuropsychologists, and a variety of other clinicians. To join the BRAIN-EDU list, click here and fill out the short form. You will receive a Welcome Letter and instructions for participating on the list. Parents, educators and others with an interest in educational issues following brain injury are invited to join the list. BRAIN-EDU is an “open list,” and messages are archived for anyone who has access to the Internet to see. To see past messages, click here. |

TBI-WORKING This is an e-mail discussion and support list for persons with brain injury, or for those simply wanting to network with others with brain injury who are back to work. The list is diverse and includes people from all over the world whose backgrounds include administration, computers, teaching, law, and a wide range of other lines of work. There are homemakers, doctors, lawyers, mechanics and service people. The list is a tremendous emotional support for persons with brain injury who may find it difficult to network with others who both share their background and the fact that they must now deal with a brain injury. Participation on the list is often the first step to acceptance and awareness for some. If you or someone in your family has a brain injury and the list sounds like something that would be useful, click here to join the TBI-WORKING list, and fill out the short form. You will receive a Welcome Letter and instructions for participating on the list. Or e-mail Kathy Moeller at KathyM@brainbook.com with questions. TBI-WORKING is also a closed list, so each participant’s messages are archived to be available to others (to preserve confidentiality). |
