Making Healthy Connections Success Story

MHC participant A young woman who had traumatic brain injury due to a car accident joined the MHC program. She actively participated in the discussions, sharing her frustrations about her injury and the struggle to regain skills she previously had. She eventually developed strong self-advocacy skills and was able to speak up more for herself at home, in school and in her community. Most recently she proposed a new piece of legislation to improve health care services for people with traumatic brain injury.
