 Brain
Injury Stories Wanted!
BIAOR
is interested in stories by Oregon
brain injury survivors, their family
members and friends for publication
in a form that will be useful in
promoting awareness of brain injury,
advocating for government and agency
services, and in fundraising. In
addition, it is hoped that the
stories will be helpful to other
survivors and their families and
friends.
Guidelines and
questions designed to help write
stories:
 |
Keep
it simple (one to three pages;
double-spaced type) |
|
Include your name, address and
contact information (phone, fax,
email, etc.) so we can contact you
|
|
First
person experience. What happened,
how did it affect you & what is it
like today? Traumatic (blows to
the head) and acquired organic
injuries (aneurysms, tumors, etc.)
are both important to us.
|
|
Were
you hospitalized? In a coma?
Required surgery? |
|
What
rehabilitation services have you
received? |
|
Were
you informed of BIAOR support
groups? At what stage of
recovery? |
|
Are
you gainfully employed? Doing
volunteer work? Unable to Work?
|
|
What
support has been most helpful to
you in your recovery? |
Write
what you think will interest
readers. You needn’t cover all of
the above.
Your
writing will be honored as much as
possible, but may require editing,
depending on length and quantity of
submissions received. If you mail to
us, be sure to include your phone
number and (if applicable) your
email address so we can contact you
if there are questions. Thank you
for your interest.
