2016 Keynote Speaker - Rosemary Rawlins
Rosemary Rawlins is the author of Learning by Accident: A Caregiver’s True Story of Fear, Family, and Hope, an inspirational memoir about learning and growing through adversity. When Rosemary’s husband suffered a severe traumatic brain injury after a car hit him on his bike, she struggled for two years to bring him back home and back to himself, and when he was finally better, she fell apart. Rosemary has eight years experience as a full- time caregiver for loved ones with brain injury, dementia, and COPD, and a keen understanding of caregiver stress.
Rosemary and her husband Hugh were featured in the 2013 Bronze Telly Award-winning video about Relationships after TBI. Rosemary and Hugh were also featured on the front page of the New York Times Science Section in January 2012. Rosemary’s writing has been featured in the TBI Today VCU Model Systems newsletter and Brain Injury Journey magazine published by Lash and Associates.
