Virtual Training:  Behavior Changes Following Brain Injury: Considerations for Families

Presenter:  Toni M. Curry, PhD, NCSP, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center 

Cost: $25.00

Behavior change following moderate and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is common and can contribute to significant stress for individuals and their families. The kinds of behavior changes and how long they persist depend on multiple factors including injury location and severity, as well as an individual’s access to adequate support and interventions in the time following an injury. This presentation will create an opportunity for discussion around why changes in behavior occur and how to decrease the likelihood of challenging behaviors during the recovery process. Specifically, participants will learn how to identify factors that make challenging behaviors more likely and how to use this information to promote positive behavior change over time. Participants will also gain knowledge around resources they can turn to for additional support.
