Brain Injury Insider Episode 139: Thanksgiving After Brain Injury: How to Celebrate Inclusively

As we gather for the Thanksgiving holiday, I'd like to reflect on what this season means for all of us—gratitude, connection, and the small but powerful ways we show up for one another. Thanksgiving reminds us that gratitude is more than just something we feel; it’s something we practice. It’s found in the care we extend, the compassion we show, and the support we offer, especially during times of challenge.In my work representing individuals and families affected by traumatic brain injury, I am reminded every day of the incredible strength of the human spirit. The courage, resilience, and determination of survivors need to be acknowledged during this holiday season. It is a privilege to stand beside those navigating life after a brain injury and to advocate for their dignity, rights, and well-being.But as joyful as the holidays can be, they can also bring mixed emotions, particularly for people living with a disability or the lasting effects of a brain injury.Watch this episode on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJBV1NjI1B0Find out more about brain injury at https://brainlaw.com/brain-injuries/help/Brain Injury Insider is a weekly podcast by The Brain Injury Law Firm ®, De Caro & Kaplen, LLP.Host Michael Kaplen is a passionate advocate of the rights of brain injury survivors, and has been fighting on their behalf for over 40 years.De Caro & Kaplen, LLP228 E. 45th Street, Suite 1100, New York, NY 10017Toll Free: (866) 272-4652e: [email protected]
