Peer Support for In-Patient Brain Injury Survivors and Their Caregivers: A Collaboration Between Therapeutic Recreation and Speech Language Pathology
Sunday, September 15, 2019 at 3:30 PM–5:00 PM PDT
Session Description (for use in the program and for marketing purposes)
Survivors of Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) and their caregivers often feel alone and unsure of what the future holds. Literature indicates that peer interaction is a critical support for persons experiencing a catastrophic event such as ABI. This dynamic case based workshop will address needed solutions for creating peer connection during in-patient rehabilitation for ABI survivors and their caregivers. Attendees will also develop a roadmap for creating and implementing their own interprofessional peer support program. Survivor stories and outcomes will be shared throughout.
