It is not until you have a friend or loved one, that you may begin to look at all the services that are available to someone with a brain injury.  At the BIANM, we receive numerous calls from people who are faced with the situation of trying to navigate a complicated and cumbersome system of services.  Through our efforts to try to help, we have created the "Navigating the System of Services" packet.  We hope that you find this useful, and if you come across a website or document that you think might be helpful, please send us an e-mail and share that information with us and in turn, the New Mexico brain injury community.
