2019 Annual Conference

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.
