The TBI Family Advocacy Toolkit
This isn't general wellness advice. This is the list I didn't have - the specific questions to ask, the timing that matters, and the mistakes that look small in week one and cost you months by week twelve.
This toolkit will help you with:
The medical appointments most families miss - and the windows that close before you realize they were open
How to get legal and financial authority early, before the fog lifts and it becomes a fight
What to ask at every care conference so you leave with answers, not more confusion
How to document your loved one's care in a way that actually protects them
The language to use when you feel dismissed - because you will, and you need to be ready
This came from my own experience navigating my husband's TBI, built out with BCPA-certified training. Not theory. Not a checklist written by someone who read about this in a textbook.
THE MISTAKES THAT COST FAMILIES MONTHS
The wrong call at week one doesn't feel wrong until week twelve — when you're still untangling it. I've watched it happen. I've lived it.
Take 3 minutes for yourself each day.
It doesn't cost you a thing.

For the Person Holding Everything Together
Nobody is checking on you right now. You're the one in the hallway. You're the one fielding the calls, sitting in the care conferences, going home and lying awake running through every decision you made that day.
The Daily Stabilizer is a simple daily tracker - not a program, not a curriculum. Just a structured place to notice: did I sleep? Did I eat? What's actually weighing on me today? Who do I have?
It won't fix the hard parts. But it will keep you from losing yourself entirely inside them.
It's free. Download it and come back to it every day.
