The TBI Family

The TBI Family

The Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center launches its first podcast, The TBI Family. This podcast will provide caregivers of service members and veterans with TBI with information on traumatic brain injury and highlight resources available to them. We'll also share caregiver stories. In this first episode we talk about the first days of being a TBI family caregiver. Dr. Joel Scholten and Ms. Kathy Helmick talk about what caregivers should know about TBI; we run through free caregiver training options; and Emery Popoloski of the Elizabeth Dole Foundation talks about coming to terms with her role as caregiver for her husband.
