Adults with a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI) often show deficits in higher-level cognitive abilities or executive functioning. Executive functioning refers to a set of tasks that allow individuals to plan, reason, problem solve, inhibit inappropriate responses, multitask, and hold multiple goals in memory. These abilities are also essential for language processing.
Brain Injury (BI) can present numerous physical, emotional, and cognitive challenges that can interfere with vocational planning, training, job readiness and employment. People with BI often rely on public employment services through a state Vocational Rehabilitation system to help prepare for and find employment opportunities.
For many individuals and families, challenges related to living life after brain injury may persist over the lifetime. Living well involves practicing habits to attain wellness in all aspects of one’s life: Physical, Emotional, Social, Spiritual and Cognitive. It also requires advocating for oneself in order to find the support, resources, and information needed to meet one’s goals. This presentation will discuss strategies, resources, and evidence-based interventions for living well after brain injury in all areas of wellness.
