National Mental Health Association When you need a helping hand! If a situation is consuming every part of your life and it becomes just too big for you to handle. It always helps and never hurts to have a third, unrelated party to discuss your issues with! In fact, the healthy thing to do is to take it to someone in the know that can help you sort out your feelings and help you begin to deal with the issue at hand. My preference is to take issues like this to a professional person who is by law required to keep my issues to themselves. How about you?
When you need a helping hand. . . . The price is well worth the value~!~ BrainInjurySupport 7/25/2006

 CC-DW see below please scroll pls. Brain Injury Meet Ups Locally and Globally! Update: 7-25-05- The former has been closed, I have no problem starting again! Once I can establish a need where people could actually benefit from this service, there's no stopping me. That's the kind of Winner I am today~:-) ~ I received an email stating "The Pomona-Claremont Brain Injury
Meetup Group, hasn't had an Organizer for some time and has
been closed." The Brain Injury Support Journal has been closed as well. Sites at Meetup.com now require that Members pay a fee to be a Member. That is not how it was when I first joined up with these people. Hence the reason why the server has been terminated. They only give you so much time to find an Organizer, it's not my job to find an organizer for the site, I set the site up, I figure they can find an organizer. They want the money, let them solicit for their money. I'm not getting paid anything.
You belong to these Meetup Groups: - The Pomona-Claremont LiveJournal Meetup Group
For C.C., D.W. we can start here and I will build a new Pomona-Claremont Brain Injury Survivor Meetup Group! F.Y.I. There is a minimal group fee for Meetup now as received in an emailed letter. It ranges from 9.00 to 20.00 depending on the number of members you have. http://www.meetup.com/tour/ I believe that more information regarding the fee may be acquired at the above link.
Brain Injury Meet Ups Globally! Even though the prior "Pomona-Claremont Brain Injury Meetup Group" has been closed. A list of high demand will provike me to start this up again, has to be at least 150 or more with commitment of participation in group activities and willingness to pay group fees this time. I have no problem leading, I have no problem motivating, I have no problem paying my own way but this time I am not going to be the whole marching band and the bank, okay?  If'ns you know what I mean??? Been there did that, had to let it go! I am so jazzed to get this going again guys, let's do it! I have to have people who are as driven as I am, don't mind working hard for a really geat time and really great friends at really great picnics, parties, dances, karioke, raffels, auctions even carnivals! I'm not going to be the "Lone Ranger" here though folks, neva again! Smile! ! I accept full responsibility for my part in that. LOL! Smile again. Come, be a part of face to face support with the people who understand the most, fellow Survivors, peers who totally understand where you are coming from. "United we stand, divided we fall"! Friends that stick together, are lifer-friends that improves the quality of life in a great way! This is so exciting, don't wait another minute. Sign up today or create your own Brain Injury Meetup for your area. BrainInjurySupport 6/10/2007

Brought to us by BRAINWAVES NEUROIMAGING CLINIC, LLC as linked above.
The SPECT scan is to my knowledge, one of the very best tests in the market for brain scans. It is a very accurate form of nuclear medicine that is available which allows visualization of the brain down to bloodflow and cell formation. A more detailed description of the test and the process of the test is available at the above link. Judi4406 10/5/2006

The above link is a search string in Yahoo.com, my reason for selecting it rather than a direct link to the ADA is because of the vast areas of the ADA and its many sections. Definitions: "et seq" or "et seqs"are Latin term meaning, and section, or at sections. It is likely that I am missing an apostrophy between the q and the s just noted for grammatical proficiency acknowledgement.
This is a very good resource for those of us who are looking for laws that protect us. Please review this law and get to know it before the Supreme Court completely destroys the protections it affords us. Be very careful how you apply the ADA. Many restrictions have been applied on the precedence of Title III, and the definitions as to employer responsibilities for providing adequate accommodations. Before applying the ADA law, be sure to investigte Shepard's which is a volume of books that cites Supreme Court laws and decisions for Supreme Court laws, and as you know, if you do legal research, always start with the most recent West's Encyclopedia, then go to Shepard's and other souces of law citations. (Always Check The Pocket Part For Updates in the back of the book) Enjoy your pursuit of learning, knowing and loving the law. Judi4406 7/25/2006

Brain Injury Support Group Journal (just click the big, blue bullet)
This is a place for public journaling to other brain injured people. Members Only Please. For example, if you're just thinking about someone and you're wondering what's up, or how they are doing, or you're just recalling the last chat you had that was just so funny. Go ahead, share it with us on the Journal, we'd love to hear it and add on to it. You know, it's little things like this that another person says or thinks about you that can really snap you out of a depression very quickly. Just sharing what you are growing through can provoke a person to get out of themselves and into helping you, that too, can cause a person to snap out of a depression. Just makes a body feel good to know that you can help another even if your world isn't going so good. You Know? Just go for it, but please, be mindful of confidential stuff that you wouldn't want to be publically shared.  Group Hugs here is best. ImaLady BrainInjurySupport 7/25/2006

The above link is the link to Dr. Roberts-Stoler's web site! She is practicing. This is the co-author of "Copng with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury" a book I highly recommend to Survivors, Caregivers and families.  This has got to be one of the very best books on Traumatic Brain Injury I have ever read in my 29 years of experience as a Survivor, Caregiver, Family Member, Sister, and Friend. A Must Read!
Please go to Barns and Noble on line or Barns and Noble book store and invest in "Coping With Mild Traumatic Brain Injury" By Diane Roberts-Stoler and Barbara Albers Hill. This is absolutely a wonderful compilation of information that no Survivor, Caregiver, Family Member or Friend of a Survivor should be without. A must read. The above link is the link to her web site! You can order the book right from the site. A web siteyou'll return to again and again. You will refer it to others! This lady is such an inspiration! She is a true Survivor and Winner! BrainInjurySupport 6/10/2007

Please read this and sign it. This is the best written letter I believe I have ever read and believe me, anyone who has been through or isgoing through the tedious process of acquiring well deserved benefits knows the shortcomings of being approved all too well. I know several people who have met their demise while waiting for benefits. One of those people was my beloved sister, Sandie. Please sign this, it's for all of us! Those of us who need and deserve these benefits should not be put on hold, humiliated, or disdainfully treated in any way. We did not choose to be disabled, it was bestowed upon us, we had no choice. No one deserves to be treated with doubt in this innocent until proven guilty system of belief! Particularly those who are at a gross mental or physical disadvantage. The exasperating process of application to approval for the legitimately, documentarily provable disabled must be redeveloped into a more amiable process. Consideration of the Beneficiary’s condition must be a priority concern in the expediency of approval for medical and financial assistance. For anyone to aggravate a disabled person’s condition as this author has personally experienced to the level that the process of application did, is purely abuse of the disabled and is absolutely against the law for which a party could be criminally and civilly charged. However, one has to consider the fact that if the ends is the means, perhaps to focus on the means would be a better position in the long run. Catch 22? Absolutely! BrainInjurySupport 6/9/2005

The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago is said to be the largest rehabilitation facility in the world. With its wide variety of recovery specialties in vast geographical areas you are sure to find what you are looking for at the "source citation" link if not the quoted, source links. We have included some links above for interesting reading, please see: "Jessee Sullivan, the World's First Bionic Man" linked above, I'm sure you will find this story an interesting and inspiring read. Our reason for posting these links is to bring them to you for convenience and to save you time and confusion as we do have a tendency to get confused at times around here. One of our members referred another member to look in the "RIF".com" site for a reference to rehabilitation centers in local areas. That was excellent information, and I jumped on it. When I entered "RIF".com" into the search window, it came back with information other than what I was looking for. For some of us, this is frustrating, for others it just means to keep searaching in another perspective. In this case the acronym, "CIF" means Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. JIYWTK- (Just Incase You Wanted To Know) Hopefully this tidbit of information will be helpful to some who are newer to the site and internet than others. Enjoy BrainInjurySupport 5/23/2006

 Social Security Disability Coalition - Please click the Lightbulb above to go right to this site.
- Change it for the Beneficiaries! Sounds good to me! Could someone please ask Mr. Bush why we are giving 50M to Palestine?? Man, what that could do for Social Security Beneficiaries, hum? We could actually have grocery money after paying our bills! Wouldn't that be cool?
- More employees for Social Security to process files and applications more rapidly? Cut down dramatically on unnecessary waiting times.
- Eliminate unnecessary programs that just waste time and money!
- Eliminate programs that cause undue stress and hardship upon beneficiaries. I am so behind these two, it's not even funny!
- To have the threat of one's welfare whisked away from them at any given time for any given reason is not a very comfortable way to live particularly if you are sick and in physical pain most of the time or all of the time.
- A wealth of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Dental, Social Security, Supplimental Security Income, information and more. . . . .
- The Social Security Disability Coalition Site is an excellent resource site for those of you who are going through the benefit acquiring process. It also covers the areas you need to know about such as Medical, Medicare, Rules, Dental, Links to various information that is helpful for you to get what you need as you need it.
- Check it out, you will be glad you did! Bookmark it, you will be glad you did.
