Resources for Parenting
Being a parent can be at times overwhelming. For a parent with TBI, parenting can be especially difficult. It is important to identify what type of assistance is needed and where to locate those resources. Assistance can take many forms, from intervention to community support groups. If a parent needs critical assistance, call your doctor or pediatrician, or local hospital. Community organizations, churches, or school personnel may also provide assistance. Under "Editor's Notes", on the last page of this issue of NeuroNews, are listings of some resources for Boston and North Shore area.
