Our H.U.G.S. website is updated monthly. We hope the site is easy to read for people with brain injuries. For instance, the color blue is helpful to those with vision impairments. Please send us comments and suggestions contact. Thanks for visiting :)

March:
* March is Brain Injury Awareness Month: This year's campaign is "a concussion is a brain injury period." What can YOU do to raise awareness? On the 17th, YOU can participate with the Brain Injury Task Force on Capitol Hill (from cyberspace); tune-in (www.biausa.org).

* Join us for brunch on Thursday, March 25th at 11:30 a.m. at Eggs 'N' Things in Thousand Oaks

Updates:
* Are you working your noodle between your ears? Here are a couple of newer releases to assist: Brain Injury Survival Kit by Cheryle Sullivan, MD and the Brain Injury Dialogue DVD

* Brain food: how about a new word? Biomimicry: (bios = life; mimesis = to imitate) is the science of studying the best blueprints found in nature & artfully imitating those designs to solve human problems. Now let's go find us some biomimicry and share our findings :)
* Our concensus is to continue with our monthly brunches only until further notice.
* Book recommendation: Brain, Heal Thyself by Madonna Siles- a caregiver's new approach.
* Any thoughts on "Conceptualizing Brain Injury as a Chronic Disease"? a provocative paper ... go to http://www.biausa.org
*'Telerehabilitation' seems to be an up and coming buzz new term in 'health care' in USA. Any comments on the subject from the brain injury community?
