I just met with the director/case manager of the Nevada Community Enrichment program.

They accepted me!!!

The program offers a bunch of different classes and therapies to help people with brain injuries recover and get back to work, and life. I'm going to be doing speech therapy, counseling (to work on coping skills and anxiety), vocational training and...something else I can't remember. Oh well.

Its going to be intense. I think its 6-8 hours a day, Monday through Friday. So this is going to be a huge test for my overstimulation issues. Just by seeing some of the other people there, I feel so much more humble and blessed that my injury wasn't more severe.

They've got a physiatrist (who is also trained in psychiatric and psychological things) on campus that specializes in brain injuries.

Best of all...its free of charge to those without means of paying for it. AND, they are giving me a 6 month bus pass for public transportation.

Why didn't someone refer me to this place sooner???

I hope everyone is doing well in their recovery.

God bless,

Nick
