How are the families and friends of the TBI survivor affected?
The family and friends of someone who has suffered a traumatic brain injury will experience a range of very intense emotions, such as shock, anger, fear, denial or depression. Your family life will undoubtedly be changed as well. An adult child with a traumatic brain injury may require full time care, or a parent with TBI may need to rely on the help of their grown children. It is important that the family and friends who become caregivers seek support and assistance wherever they can.
