Brain-injured Man Deals with Challenges

A client with a recent brain injury needs a guardian and conservator to help manage his life and insure his safety since he has no family that is able to provide those services. As guardians we arrange for semi-independent housing at a boarding home that is small and manageable. An allowance is set up to give this client a feeling of independence and choice. We help him apply for jobs that are within his capabilities and help him start school through services for people with disabilities. Set backs and frustrations are expected and dealt with in a compassionate but firm manner. The client eventually starts volunteering at the Humane Society and likes it so much decides to apply for a job there.
