What Every MFT Should Know about Stroke & Brain Injury
Over five million people live with a permanent, brain injury-related disability in the United States (Brain Injury Association of America), and it is common for brain injury patients to need significant caregiving support – especially in the initial months following their injury. In most cases, post-injury care falls to patients' family members, who may be experiencing their own stress and trauma-response. Because catastrophic injuries are life changing for everyone involved, MFTs are particularly well suited to help families navigate these challenging circumstances.
