Family Meeting

I have attended a family meeting for one of my brain injury service user (su)
which was organised by my service user's youngest daughter's counsellor.
I was very impressived with the effort of all the professionals who attended
the meeting and especially all the family members including the three children!


I will list the attendees to give you an idea of who and what was discussed to
support my SU and her family. However, due to confidentiality, I am not
able to discuss the details of the meeting but it was good to have everyone at one table
to think about a way forward. It is going to be a VERY gradual process for my SU.
