If you have ever encountered a student who is struggling with their studies, activities, and ability to continue to participate in their sports teams…

If you know of parents who are frustrated trying to understand exactly what is happening to their children after a concussion…

If you have heard your fellow educators remark uncharitably that “Mary is just trying to get out of having to do her work”… because of a head injury…

I can assure you these and more problems are extremely common and very real.

Know, because it happened to me.

I was a Maine K-12 Art teacher for 20 years. I had a brain injury in 2015 and, as a result, I have developed some tools to help people who are struggling with a head injury .. concussions are also commonly referred to as Traumatic Brain Injury.

The Concussion Conversation Starter was written to assist kids who are struggling with class participation and communication.

It will work for any class.

All learning styles

It is fun and invites safe conversation.

I believe teachers will love it too!

Do You Know Someone Who Needs Help?

Traumatic Brain Injuries are known as “invisible” injuries and create a lot of stress and frustration.

It is not uncommon for someone with a brain injury to "look" fine, and not be o.k.

This "invisibility" is why lots of doctors and health professionals that are overseeing the recovery process of TBI individuals do not see the problems.

If you know someone who is experiencing frustration and struggling to find answers, I have been told that these books help.

Do you know someone who is isolating themselves, constantly confused, highly emotional and frustrated?

Do simple chores seem to be a challenge? Are they short-tempered? Have they lost their balance , appetite, sense of smell or ability to drive? Is schoolwork a problem? Do they have light sensitivity?

These are just a few of the many concerning symptoms someone who has had a head injury may experience.

Education, interaction, reassurance, understanding and validation are the first steps. Learn what you can do from someone who knows the solutions first hand.

What People Say

Gail gives powerful, practical, and solid advice and a step-by-step approach to recover from traumatic brain injury. One of the major issues for people who have been suddenly sidelined by TBI is that they feel misunderstood and utterly hopeless. Author and health coach Gail Waitkun is a beautiful soul who knows exactly how this feels. Her relentless determination to find a way to function and get her life back has allowed her to carve out a comprehensive path to recovery.

Gail explores the fine line you have to walk between managing stress and still giving yourself enough challenges to make progress. She helps you identify some stresses that you would have never had anticipated. Most importantly, Gail leaves you with the understanding that, yes, things have changed, but that doesn’t mean things are worse! It’s my hope that you reach out to her before you lose hope.
