Brain Injury Survivors Building Community & Making a Difference

During this webinar on Tuesday, October 5 at 3:00 – 4:30 pm ET, brain injury survivors, caregivers, and others with the lived experience of disability will learn ways to be successful when participating in team projects. Project leaders will learn what works and doesn’t work when engaging people with the lived experience of brain injury.

The content of this webinar is based on brain injury survivors’ experiences in NCAPPS Brain Injury Learning Collaborative from January 2020 to August 2021. During that time, teams in 15 states worked toward making brain injury services more person-centered.
