For those who have Traumatic Brain Injuries, some have been conditioned to beLIEve we're lost, crazy, pathetic, psychotic, looney or weird, all because of how we 'respond' to (or fail to) those around us.

Operation TBI Quest:  A Salute to Our Military - With Special guests Director WDVA John Lee - President Veterans Family Fund Bob McIntosh - Wounded Warriors Kevin Phillip, Ron Grigsby and much more --  Traumatic brain injury is becoming the prevalent  “signature” injury of the most recent wars, according to military doctors and experts. It is imperative for service members to obtain accessible resources for their TBI-related disability. Veterans who are currently living with TBIs are realizing that not only does the TBI affect them, but the ripple effect among their families and friends is quite vast. In honor of the USMC birthday and Veterans Day this month, join Kevin on his quest directed to increase awareness of the different issues which contribute to TBIs in the military.  Kevin and other service members will share their inspiring stories of their mission to conquer this silent epidemic and restore their focus on thriving.

We all acknowledge the inevitable changes that occur in the family when a member sustains a TBI.  The roles drastically change for everyone, including children. The most important member of the rehabilitation TEAM for the TBI Thriver is the family.  How involved the family is, will dramatically affect the outcome of recovery and rehabilitation, thus determining the Thriver's future. While the family dynamics may differ for each TBI Thriver, we all can benefit and learn from sharing our stories of how we balance the "ups and downs" and still know that family matters.  Join Kevin on the see-saw as he explores the role of family in the lives of TBI Thrivers.
