Session # 2 of 4 -- 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.. (60 minutes, 0.1 CEU)

Summary of Session: Caregivers of people with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) are vital ‘secret agents’ in helping to develop person-centred therapeutic goals. Family caregivers are the ‘invisible’ link in interdisciplinary collaboration: The role of a spousal caregiver is not usually one expects or trains for, but rather a role that one unwittingly steps into right after an accident happens – a journey with an open-ended ticket for an undetermined period of time and to an undetermined destination. The presenter will share her “Canadian lived experience as a caregiver” perspective. Twenty-four years later, the open-ended ticket is still open with a pandemic in the mix. The front-line, caregiving spouse is still an integral resource for assisting with a self-management program for one’s spouse, helping to create a safe and secure environment for continued improvement, and keeping the home running on all cylinders.

Learning Objectives:

to define 2 symptoms that affect the well-being of the client with the traumatic brain injury, the caregiver/care partner and thus overall family dynamics.
To develop client-centered goals based on a family member’s viewpoint for participation in various activities eg community leisure activities.
To identify tools to use when working with family members to enhance working with their clients and as part of an interdisciplinary team
