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.
