Brain Injury Webinar: Mental Health & Adjustment is proudly presented to you by Brain Injury Association of North Carolina's Online Learning Center. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Live Webinar Date: 8/18/2020 We know that anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions are more common among individuals who have sustained a brain injury. Caregivers supporting someone after a brain injury also often face unique, challenging mental health challenges. So why is it that mental health counseling is usually considered a last resort or a luxury, and not a core component of the physical rehabilitation process? In this webinar, we will explore how mental health counseling can impact brain injury recovery. Specific strategies to support both TBI patients and their caregivers will be shared with webinar participants.
Speaker:
I help teens and adults with disabilities who dream of gaining independence, coping with anxiety and depression, finding their voice, and overcoming trauma. The trouble is that they feel controlled by people who think they know what’s right for them.
I help special needs parents who wish they could just relax, enjoy the moment, and dream freely about the future. But they feel drained and chained by the demands of lifelong parenting, and so they never quite get around to living the life they really want.
I help partners whose loved ones have acquired a disability. They want to be supportive and helpful, but they are struggling to balance the roles of caregiver and partner. They may also need a nudge to admit that they feel lonely and afraid without their old partner.
