Second Chance to Live Resources to Create Hope Lost after Brain Injury

After a brain injury many things seem lost. Hope seems lost. For 39 of nearly 56 years, I lived my life not knowing how the impact of my brain injury and an invisible disability affected. Affected my life and well-being.

Consequently, I lived my life trying to not be impacted my brain injury and invisible disability, with little success. As I became aware of my brain injury and invisible disability affected my life, I discovered that I needed to change.

With my change I became an actor in my life. As an actor, I began to create hope lost due to my brain injury and invisible disability.
