Presenters: Samantha Schilling Psy. D. student at Adler School of Professional Psychology and Johanna Buwalda, M.Ed., M.A. , L.C.P.C
Description/Goal: As the technology of war has changed, so to have the effects of war. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) stands among this phenomena just beginning to be understood. Despite its widespread reach in veteran and service member communities and its life changing effects, TBI remains a distant concept to service providers and mainstream society. This workshop will help us better understand TBI and begin a much needed conversation on how service providers and our society can work to alleviate its effects.
