To coordinate and advocate for the successful transition to a post-military career and life for Veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
Veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury are properly diagnosed and supported during a successful transition to a post-military career and life.
As a non-political organization, we will advocate for TBI veterans within their local communities, assisting their local hospitals and clinics to provide services and support to families and friends who are helping TBI veterans move forward. In addition, we will actively partner with other established 501(c)(3) organizations to coordinate programs and resources such as providing job training and career opportunities to TBI veterans following their treatment and during their ongoing recovery.
Treatment includes cognitive retraining with a TBI team of experts including physical medicine specialists, speech pathologists, occupational and physical therapists, job coaches and social workers, as well as vocational trainers and job coaches. Treatment could also include instruction on use of electronic devices for better retrieval and management of information. GPS systems, computers and PDAs are crucial to the activities of daily living for patients sustaining mild Traumatic Brain Injuries. There is also a dramatic upside – including compliance and effectiveness – in using mobile applications to monitor medications.
