White House press secre-
tary Jim Brady is shot in
the head during an assasi-
nation attempt on the life of
the President.
Most of us saw it on TV.
Later, we watched the
indomitable but physically
diminished Brady struggle
with rehabilitation. And
wondered how his family
could cope.
Coping is what the Texas
Head Injury Foundation
(THIO) is all about. Fami-
lies everywhere face the
same problems when a
loved one experiences a
head injury. In a flash, a
gunshot wound or a traffic
accident changes every-
thing.

Until the establishment of
the National Head Injurv
Foundation (NHIF) in 1980.
no single existing federal,
state or private agency con-
cerned itself exclusively
with the unique problems
faced by the head injured
and their families. The Tex
as foundation is now being
formed with support groups
of families throughout the
state.
The families aren't as
well known of course as the
Bradys. But the problems
arc sometimes even more
serious—and closer to
home.
