Family Journey, Recovery, and Resilience:
A Caregiver’s Perspective

Lee Woodruff
Best-selling author, CBS This Morning show contributor, and
Bob Woodruff Foundation cofounder

Wednesday, April 10, 2013
5:00 p.m.
Yawkey Center, Murray Room

Lee Woodruff, coauthor with her husband, ABC News anchor Bob Woodruff, of In an Instant: A Family’s Journey of Love and Healing, a New York Times best seller about their family’s experience after he was critically injured in Iraq, will discuss how caregivers cope during a crisis. Drawing on her earlier experience as a public relations professional, Woodruff will also talk about how nurses can turn complex nursing practice and scholarly research into stories that will attract the interest of mainstream media.

An advocate for veterans, survivors of traumatic brain injuries, and their caregivers, Woodruff cofounded the Bob Woodruff Foundation (ReMIND.org), which assists wounded service members and their families. She is also the author of a collection of essays, Perfectly Imperfect: A Life in Progress, and a novel, Those We Love Most, as well as a contributing reporter to CBS This Morning.

A reception will follow the presentation.
