This is season is made possible with the generous support of the Kimel-Schatzky Traumatic Brain Injury Innovation Fund.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often leads to complex cognitive, behavioural and physical changes. These changes can have significant impact on cognition, executive functioning, interpersonal relationships, and employability. In addition, TBI can be a chronic and life-long condition requiring long-term supports and health care costs that may not be covered. As a result, survivors of traumatic brain injury may be faced with considerable socioeconomic challenges.
In this episode, host Shaelyn Fitzpatrick is joined by Steve and his wife J who are both brain injury survivors. Steve and J speak about their lived experiences with TBI and uncover some of the socioeconomic realities that disproportionately affect many traumatic injury survivors.
Together, Steve and J work hard to advocate for brain injury survivors, which is demonstrated through their platform, “Invisible Advocate.”
