Lifelines: The Brain Injury Support Groupmeeting at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas
The June meeting is scheduled for Monday the 8th, from 6:30 – 8:00 PM (directions below).
We will explore "How to Turn Down the Noise in Your Life."
Often times, guidance on how to manage life with brain injury can be found in the unlikeliest of places - in this case, Redbook magazine. We will be discussing the following article (paste the following web address in your browser):

The subtitle for the article is "Learn to manage the distractions that sap your concentration - so you can find your focus and your peace of mind."
If you are a "seasoned" survivor, you might have already figured out that time management skills, mind-body skills, etc. are tools that help the general population and are not just brain injury specific. Everybody needs help with focus, concentration and de-stressing. Sometimes the advice given in the popular or "pop culture" magazines seems like it's come right out of a neurocognitive rehabilitation session. Have you thumbed through Oprah, Real Simple, Wired or Scientific American Mind? Chances are you'll make some great discoveries that will help improve the quality of your life!
Perhaps we could even start a magazine swap - bring your last month's magazines to the next meeting and we'll see what happens!

When turning into the campus from eastbound Walnut Hill, the best route to take may be the driveway prior to the light for the main entrance. The driveway curves away from the main entrance (direction towards North Central Expressway) and the entry to the parking lot is on the left (gated entry). The Fogelson Building has a small dome on top and is next to the Margot Perot Center.
Using the underground parking is the easiest way to reach the meeting location; if entering from the main floor, cross the foyer (past the stairs) and take the elevators to the ground floor. Classroom A is to the left off the elevators.
Remember that parking is now free! Be sure to get your validation sticker at the start of the meeting.
