Effects of Chronic Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: Caregiver Perspectives and Knowledge Gaps

October 8, 2015
1:00 pm – 2:30 pm (ET)

Family caregivers of service members that experience chronic effects of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) notice that their loved ones experience many cognitive, emotional and behavioral problems. Caregivers often experience many of these same issues, disrupting family dynamics. They often feel marginalized by the medical system and conclude that their health care providers lack insight into their experience. Knowledge gaps also exist regarding what caregivers understand about mTBI and resources to help them manage symptoms and patient outcomes.This webinar will address these issues and explore how education for caregivers, family, friends, and health care providers could potentially enhance treatment outcomes and caregiver success.
