Register for the webinar.
Join us for the Traumatic Brain Injury Technical Assistance and Resource Center (TBI TARC) webinar "Incorporating Trauma Informed Best Practices into Brain Injury Screening." Screening for brain injury among underserved and vulnerable populations is critical to ensure access to resources and support. However, if not done well, screening can elicit a traumatic response, especially for those who have experienced trauma. Trauma can be experienced in a variety of ways, including intimate partner violence, child abuse, experiencing overdose, and military combat. Therefore, it is important to understand the principles and best practices as it relates to implementing a trauma informed approach to screening for brain injury.
This webinar will provide an overview of the need for a trauma informed approach and best practice principles for implementing trauma informed screening using a modified version of the Ohio State University Traumatic Brain Injury Identification Method.
The webinar will be live-captioned and ASL-interpreted. If you require additional accommodations to participate, or if you have any questions about the webinar, please contact the TBI TARC at tbitarc@hsri.org.
