Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Warfighter Brain Health/Family Caregiver

The nature of modern warfare has led too many of our service members and veterans to return home with traumatic brain injuries (TBI). This medical diagnosis can be complex and layered, and symptoms can be mild to severe. This can make getting a diagnosis and proper treatment, and navigating the impacts of TBI on relationships and family life, challenging, to say the least.

As the loved ones of a service member or veteran, we may take on a caregiver role, or simply just want to better understand how to support our loved one in navigating TBI, and how to care for ourselves amidst the challenges it can bring. We are excited to welcome Danielle Crandall and Toni McCall from the Traumatic Brain Injury Center of Excellence (TBICoE) to lead a presentation and conversation about the science of TBI in the military and veteran community, as well as how caregivers and family members can support both their loved one AND themselves as they navigate life with TBI.

Join us for this special presentation on Wednesday, November 2nd from 12:00-1:00 pm CDT to learn, ask questions, as well as discuss your family's support needs, and receive resources.
