Families of disabled or hospitalized people could get a lot from this hour with Melissa Abate, Family and Patient Counselor of Craig Hospital, of Littleton, Colorado, which specializes in brain and spinal cord injury.

Abate spoke on helping families adjust and move through the process at the 27th Annual Brain Injury Association of Colorado's Conference Oct. 7 & 8, 2009. We proudly present her deep discussion for its many practical bits of advice.
