EBOOK Head Injury

Head injury affects approximately 1 in 300 families in England and Wales. It        happens 'out of the blue' - without warning and therefore can be a bewildering and        frightening experience, and frequently has a dramatic and sometimes devastating        effect on the lives of the people involved. The sudden onset and the uncertainty        surrounding recovery means that head injury often presents families with a wide        array of emotions such as fear, guilt and sadness. With no previous experiences        toguide them, people with head injury and their families can feel overwhelmed.This        book begins with essential information about head injury including basic knowledge        about the brain and how it is damaged. The book goes on to explore typical problems        associated with a head injury and how to cope with specific issues. The third        section provides support and guidance about how to deal with the long term        consequences of a head injury, including information on where to find further        support. Head Injury: The Facts is a family guide to understanding and coping with        thepractical and emotional problems that head injury brings.
