Abstract
Services and Supports for 
Persons with Brain Injury

The purpose of the Services and Supports for Persons with Brain Injury project is to enable individuals with brain injury to decrease social isolation and loneliness, strengthen community living skills, and increase the skills needed to participate in inclusive recreation opportunities. This will be accomplished by developing, implementing, and evaluating consumer driven, community based therapeutic recreation services that promote skill mastery, self-determination, and inclusion. 

Specific components of this project include: 
1.) individual therapeutic recreation services to survivors of brain injury, 2.)support and education of family members, 3.) technical assistance to peer support groups, and 4.) training for community recreation providers.
