New website launched to help people suffering from traumatic brain injuries
The Washington Post (12/16, HE2, Kritz) reports that for the "more than five million Americans" who "have suffered a traumatic brain injury," a "new website, brainline.org, offers these people and their families a user-friendly source of information."
Created "by public television and radio station WETA, with funding from the government's Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center," the site "offers such online tools as webcasting, videos, a Facebook page, font enlargement, a glossary that can pop up inside text, and a one-click option that translates all text into Spanish."
Noel Gunther, head of learning media at WETA, "says the site is aimed at patients and families, as well as community health professionals who may have little experience recognizing or treating brain injuries in veterans."
