The TBI Family   /     Caregiver Study and Brain Injury Awareness Month

Description

Since 2012, Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center and the National Intrepid Center of Excellence at Walter Reed have been conducting a study on the effects of caregiving on the caregivers and families of service members and veterans who've sustained a traumatic brain injury. In this episode, we talk about some of what that study has learned so far and how you can take part. We also discuss an easy way you can help spread the word about TBI this Brain Injury Awareness Month. If you're interested in taking part in the "Health Related Quality of Life in Caregivers of Service Members with Military Related Traumatic Brain Injury" study, call (855) 821-1469 or email caregiver.study@dvbic.org.
