Experiencing a (traumatic) brain injury is life altering. Parenting after a brain injury can be daunting and equally life altering. Join us for an hour-long presentation and discussion on how individuals who are living with a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury can modify parenting responsibilities and remain effective. A few of the topics to be discussed include changes in family dynamics, keeping children safe and healthy, supporting children’s education, managing their activities, and providing parental emotional support all while simultaneously navigating your symptoms of fatigue, headaches, pain, anxiety, depression, and decreased cognitive capacity.
