The roles of care-givers, family members and others associated with patients were discussed in detail. The session stressed the need to educate family members about the patients illness/ brain damage. It was a beneficial experience as we became familiar with rehabilitation practices that support people with these disorders. It also sensitised us to the need to be supportive.
