The Generations Project recently concluded a statewide listening tour dedicated to letting Indiana residents with traumatic brain injury (TBI), their families and caregivers discuss what services are working and what services are lacking. Throughout July, the tour involved stops in various cities throughout Indiana, including Indianapolis, Bloomington, South Bend, Fort Wayne and Terre Haute, among others. Summaries of discussions from the tour will be posted online on and “presented to advocates, state administration, legislators, providers and others who want to improve the quality of life for those living with the effects of brain injury,” according to the organization’s website. Each meeting lasted approximately two hours and everyone in attendance was given the chance to speak. Additional organizations involved in the listening tour included the Brain Injury Association of Indiana (BIAI), Paralyzed Hoosier Veterans and the Indiana Council on Independent Living (ICOIL). We will look forward to seeing what changes these discussions can lead to, as the Generations Project’s website says the final report will focus on “what people with brain injury need – from their perspective.” Tom Doehrman Doehrman Chamberlain
