Welcome

Welcome to Brainstorming 4 Us! We are glad that you found us on the web!

Our goal is to offer encouragement and resources for families and surviviors who have been thrown into the unknown world of traumatic brain injury.

So often our family went looking for support and information from various websites on the Internet. Only to find there were few places where people could interact with others via emails and findout if their loved ones had experienced the same physical limitations, side effects to medications or other posing problems brought on from traumatic brain injury.

We hope this site will not only answer questions but be a place you feel free to express yourself, your worries and your hopes.

Together we will build a group dedicated to helping others get through one day at a time.
