An important aspect of brain injury treatment and recovery for traumatic brain injury survivors is often participation in support groups.   These are often very helpful for both the brain injury survivors and their families.   Meeting other survivors and their families who are experiencing or have been through the treatment and recovery process provides an excellent source of both understanding and comfort.

Support groups take a number of different forms.  They may assist in  providing and evaluating relevant information, relating personal experiences, listening to and accepting others’ experiences, providing sympathetic understanding of what each other are going through.  They can also establish social networks and can  work to inform the public or engage in advocacy.

The Michigan Brain Injury Association has a number of support groups throughout the State of Michigan for brain injury survivors and their families.  These groups meet together, usually monthly, to offer support and advice for each other.

In Lansing, Michigan, the brain injury support group meets the 1^st Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at The Michigan Disability Rights Coalition Office, 3498 E. Lake Lansing Road, Ste. 100, East Lansing, MI 48823.  For more information, contact Brian Beaumont at (517) 321-8899.

The Michigan brain injury lawyers at our law firm are proud to again be a sponsor of the upcoming Brain Injury Association of Michigan conference in Lansing on September 24 & September 25, 2009.  It will be  once again an incredible with a tremendous list of speakers and exhibitors.  The conference seems to get better every year.

We will be at a sponsor table free copies of our book, “The Ultimate Michigan Car Accident Handbook,” for attendees.  The book has been called “the best book ever written for consumers on Michigan car accident laws.”

We will also have our “Order of Priority Charts” available for medical providers.  The chart explains which no-fault insurance carrier is responsible for paying medical and other benefits in every type of accident scenario.  These charts are a hot item and are usuall gone within a few hours of the conference.  Additional charts can be requested directly from our firm website. 

We look forward to seeing all of our colleagues and friends at the conference and hope to meet new people to establish new friendships and relationships.  Please stop by our table and say hello.
