Trying to figure out legal and political remedies to a personal problem.

7. Another option: medical social worker

First off, the office for aging people might have recommendations, so please do call them; in some places, there is an overlap between office for aging and disabilities staff, even if you are on the young side There also might be legal clinics near you, associated with a law school program.

If you have been under treatment for your injury, or if you have a primary care physician, ask if there is a medical social worker on their team. Medical social workers help with all sorts of things beyond what we might think of as medical care: housing issues, food insecurity, paperwork challenges -- they would take a "big picture" view of your trouble, integrating your brain injury into their strategy. The job title varies depending on how a medical organization is set up, so start with calling your primary care physician, or the main doctor's office if you are getting specialized care.

Personally I would hold off on the alert-the-press approach. As part of that, you would likely draw more attention (from random people) than support, which could add stress to the whole situation. Save that as a last resort if needed.

Good luck!
