"The Road Ahead: Next Exit Hope" is a booklet created by Carol Paetkau and Jodie Millward of the Fraser Valley Brain Injury Association.  This booklet was developed with the support and guidance of people with an acquired brain injury and their familes who wanted to share their stories with families new to this experience.  Although this booklet is designed for younger children who have siblings and/or parents with acquired brain injuries, it is intended to be used with an adult.  Parents and children can use the booklet together to share thoughts, stories, fears and tears.    To obtain a copy of this booklet, please contact The Fraser Valley Brain Injury Association.
