INSPIRE, TEACH & GUIDE
It is mentally, emotionally, and physically draining to care for someone with a disability. Like a new baby, the injured person doesn't come with a user's manual, troubleshooting recommendations, or service providers' contact information. The suggestions and basic information provided in the early recovery phases didn't extend far enough into the future, leaving us, and others like us, to scramble and search for necessary resources. Caregivers don't know what to look for, where to find it, or how to pay for it. There are many things I wish I had known as a backdrop for what I might or would face down the long road ahead. I hope this page will provide useful information for others facing uncertain times.
I Define resources as anything that will educate, equip, and guide you on your journey. See Techniques for resources that are therapeutic in nature.
