Injuries are no fun. A stubbed toe or a skinned knee are painful, sure, but they’re hardly life-altering. Clearly, not all wounds are created equal. It’s no surprise that trauma to the brain, in any form, can drastically (and permanently) alter someone’s life in myriad ways. But what exactly are the long-term consequences of brain injury? Importantly, how does brain injury reshape communication and behavior? If you or a loved one has had a brain injury, where can you go for resources?
In this episode, Aidan & Emily talk with Certified Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS) Victor Darr about the unique challenges associated with brain injury, with a special focus on how it can impact one’s sense of self and ability to connect with others. Learn more about the crucial support and resources his organization - Brain Injury Alliance of Connecticut (BIACT) - provides to those who need it most at www.biact.org.
