Valerie Yamada was a nurse prior to suffering a stroke and eventually being diagnosed with traumatic brain injury. As part of her recovery and therapy, she has been a long-time member of our Hui Malama Po’o Support Group, one of our support groups for consumes with Traumatic Brain Injury.
Val eventually had taken a leadership role and volunteers her time to coordinate the groups’ activities. Members find it valuable as part of their support in sharing about their experience with TBI and facing obstacles on a daily basis.
