How much do you know about Facebook? Would you be willing to answer a few questions about how familiar and interested you are in using Facebook?
The Brain Injury Research Center at Mount Sinai is conducting a research study to explore how often people with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) use Facebook. The research will include participants over 18 years old, and have sustained a TBI. Interested participants will be invited to access and complete an online survey. The survey is anonymous and takes about 5-10 minutes to complete. There is no compensation for participation.
You can access a survey online by clicking here.

Kahrmann Blog: We Are Not Children, We Are Not Slaves: Living With a Brain Injury - Part I and II.
Discrimination denies people what they deserve – their freedom.
I have lived with a brain injury for nearly 20 years and have worked in the field for nearly 15 of those years. Raised in a civil rights family I am very much an advocate for every individual’s right to be who they are, in safety, with equality, in the world they live in. When I talk with survivors of brain injuries in this state and others, the number one complaint I hear is, "They treat us like we are children." Tragically this is true....
Please take a look at the Kahrmann Blog for the rest of the story.
Very good reading and perspective.
