What's Next?

The most important takeaway for this section is the need for speed and the wisdom in planning for the future just in case your traumatic brain injury survivor needs it. Many of the resources listed in both publications require application to various state agencies and organizations and may take weeks and months to process and get approved – so get started as soon as possible after the traumatic brain injury occurs. Resource opportunities include healthcare benefits, rehab services, mental health care, financial assistance, long-term services, independent living, and much more. These are two of the most important links on the HeadUpTBI website.

Additional resources outlined in this section also include legal, disability, and life-care planning. Both the Texas Brain Injury Resource Directory and the Texas Brain injury Resource Guide are invaluable resources in provide information about these issues. We strongly encouraged to make the time to review each of them and familiarize yourself with all of the resources they contain.
