Understanding an injury is a paramount part of the healing process – especially when the injury is as multi-faceted as a neuro trauma. Since every brain injury is unique, survivors may experience a variety of symptoms, many of which can be resolved through rehabilitation. Taking the time to understand the injury and rehab process is more than a way for clients to manage expectations, it’s also a way for families to understand their loved one's new reality. Life Skills Village offers TBI education to families and employers that includes:
- Physical and Behavioral changes to expect in a person with a brain injury
- Guidelines to providing support at home and work
- How to provide support in a respectful way
- Free online resources for people with brain injuries and their loved ones
