WELCOME TO SelfHelpRecovery.net
August 2007

The purpose of the Self Help Recovery website is to provide information about resources to aid in long-term recovery from brain injury and other chronic illness. 

Self Help Recovery goes beyond medical issues that are the usual focus of resources directed to case managers and caregivers. It may take 10-15 years or more to recover from head injury and other catastrophic illness, and recovery will involve changes in lifestyle for both patient and caregiver.  Self Help Recovery provides resource listings that address quality of life in the long-term recovery process: Resources and activities based on the educational model.

Books, articles and websites included in SelfHelpRecovery.net are based on expert evaluations as well as referrals and recommendations made by users and consumers of resources for long-term recovery.  Recommendations for books, articles or websites should be sent to selfhelprecovery@usa.net.  To establish a reciprocal link, include up to 50 words of copy describing your organization or website.

This website as well as the work of Brain Injury Recovery is self-supported by donations, advertising, and commissions.
