Proposal information: Click here to submit online Thursday, March 3, 2010 8:00 – 4:00 pm $350 for CBIS Certification- $100 for Class Only The purpose of this workshop is to provide a broad overview of brain injury, how it affects the individual, and the relationships between brain injury and the behavioral challenges that may follow. While neurological, physical and cognitive changes that occur following an injury clearly affect behavior, social and environmental factors often have equal or greater influence. This is especially true in day, residential, community based and other program formats. The manner in which a person is treated can contribute to problem behaviors. How do you handle these changes? The workshop will explore these factors and discuss how they apply in home, community and professional service settings. There will be a special emphasis on promoting positive supports to help all individuals succeed. This is not only relevant for people who experience disability following brain injury, but also for caretakers, providers and other members of a person’s circle of support. The training will offer the opportunity to study for and take the national examination to become a Certified Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS). Conference Objectives At the completion of the conference, participants will be able to: Implement strategies designed to significantly reduce brain injury-related mortality and morbidity in all communities. Summarize recent brain injury-related research with corresponding practical application. Identify clinical management practices, specifically new prevention, diagnosis, and treatment guidelines. Describe public health interventions to reduce the impact of brain injury among different types of racial and ethnic populations and settings (e.g., school, workplace, community). Understand health care delivery trends and their impact on long-term brain injury management, acute care, and prevention. Analyze past brain injury-related interventions and weigh their value in today’s world. Implement health communication strategies and know how to more effectively reach target populations and raise awareness. Summarize brain injury data, including mortality, morbidity, and risk factor prevalence. Create networking opportunities and build partnerships with key brain injury researchers, clinicians, and prevention professionals. |
