Presented By: Laura Strom, LMFT, LPCC, CRC 

Brain injury (BI) represents a hidden, silent epidemic in America. Sometimes these injuries have been undetected for decades, and creating problems in a person’s interpersonal relationships, school and employment. As clinicians, we have a unique opportunity to be sleuths, uncovering brain injury. We can help unravel the mystery of these unique, troublesome problems which cause a great deal of suffering.

This lively, fun, interactive presentation will include the latest research on how to heal an old brain injury, and improve working memory (even if you don’t have a BI!). Ways to screen for BI will be covered, along with how to document to increase your client’s chances of getting the help they need. Please join us for another great RECAMFT event!
