Tribes form brain injury groups
Two brain injury support groups are forming on the Northern Cheyenne and Crow reservations. The group facilitators are Quintin Kingfisher in Lame Deer and Dean Bird in Crow Agency. Both men said they have personal experiences with brain-injured loved ones and hope to help fill voids by having support groups in their communities. The groups are open to those with injuries, their families, their friends and other caregivers, as well as service providers. "I think our reservation has a high incidence," Kingfisher said. The groups were organized with support from the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services.
