There is a wealth of information on recovering successfully from a brain injury that we still have to learn. Therefore, we have formed a panel of more than 300 survivors, family caregivers, and health care professionals who participate in our project.

Periodically, we pose questions to these folks regarding all aspects of recovering from and living with a brain injury. At other times, we share with the panel our preliminary conclusions and the early drafts of our work. The information, advice, and comments we have received from the panel members have been invaluable to the success of the project.

We are recruiting new members to the panel. If you are:

• A brain injury survivor
• Someone who cares for a person living with a brain injury, or
• A health care professional who works in the brain injury field

you undoubtedly have gained insights that would be invaluable to others.

The purpose of our project is to collect and compile these insights into a series of easy-to-use guidebooks to help others learn to create fulfilling new lives.

Becoming a member of our panel imposes no obligation. If, when you receive a question, you have neither the time nor the interest to respond, that’s fine. We’re thrilled when twenty-five percent of the panel members respond to one of our questions. If you decide at a later date that you no longer wish to participate in the project, that’s fine also. Just let us know and we will remove you from our email list.

The members of the panel also have the opportunity to review and comment upon what we write. We share our material with the panel for two reasons:

1. To show you what we’re doing with the information we collect, and
2. To give you an opportunity to correct our mistakes and omissions.
