BrainandSpinalCord.org was created as a knowledge-base for brain injury and spinal cord injury survivors to use as a resource. While the site is relatively new, we hope to eventually have answers and information about all of the most frequently asked questions and important issues facing survivors. Our daily blog will have information about news and developments. We will have in-depth articles, links to resources, and commentary on developments in research and recovery. We are also building a video library that will have basic information that survivors need to know about. Our library will also have videos of other brian injury and spinal cord injury survivors and their families who will talk about lessons they have learned and tell their personal stories about hope and coping.
