For treatment? For education? For support? Trying to find the best resources and best path to recovery is a daunting task. I’ve worked with survivors, families, healthcare providers, and rehab treatment programs for many years. So, in order to inform the TBI community, I’ve started Traumatic Brain Injury Recovery YouTube and podcast channels consisting of interviews with TBI survivors, family members, and healthcare professionals. Traumatic Brain Injury Recovery YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe4p7y3z1ykL1mMPamZLqsA Podcast: https://dangardner.podbean.com/ Viewers and listeners will learn how all involved address the challenges of recovery from Traumatic Brain Injury. For example, they will learn how a neurologist, neuropsychiatrist, and neuropsychologist participate in the evaluation and treatment of TBI. They will learn what community services are available to survivors and families. And they will learn how other survivors and families met the challenges of recovering from brain injury. Current Titles Include: The Protective Barrier in Brain Injury Family Support After Brain Injury Traumatic Brain Injury Recovery: Can Neuropsychiatry Help? Traumatic Brain Injury: You Are Not Alone. Call the San Diego Brain Injury Foundation Traumatic Brain Injury: Barry’s Journey After TBI Coming Soon: Where Can a TBI Survivor with Severe Injury Reside? Taking Your Brain for a Test Drive: Neuropsychological Evaluation Behavior Analysis and Modification in TBI The Role of Social Work in Acute Rehab after TBI Psychological Counseling After TBI Cognitive Remediation After TBI Case Management After TBI And More..
