Podcasts about veterans brain injury center

 In 2010, the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center, now known as the Traumatic Brain Injury Center of Excellence, launched the Caregiver and Family Member Study. This 15-Year Longitudinal TBI Study, led by TBICoE researchers at the National Intrepid Center of ExcellenceOpens to the homepage of the National Intrepid Center of Excellence in Bethesda, Maryland is a congressionally mandated study that examines the effects of TBI incurred by service members. The specific focus of the study is on those who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom, and how those effects impact family members.The Caregiver and Family Member Study aims to better understand the impact of the service member's or veteran's TBI on their family.Now in its eleventh year, the Caregiver and Family Member Study has found that the time commitment and burden of caregiving is correlated with physical and psychological distress, poor sleep and disrupted family life. Frequently, caregivers balance their commitments toward their service member or veteran with childcare and other work duties, often receiving no help and having little time for themselves.Caregivers also have unmet health care and care provision needs. These unmet needs can evolve to worse caregiver health and well-being.WOMAN & WARRIOR MINISTRYThank you for listening!"Thank you to BetterHelp for sponsoring today's episode!Behind the Service listeners can get 10% off by visiting:https://betterhelp.com/behindtheserviceVisit our webpage at cominghomewell.comFollow us on our socialsYouTube @cominghomewellmilitaryInstagram @behindtheservicepodcastFacebook at (1) Behind the Service | FacebookLinkedIn at Coming Home WellHome » Coming Home WellWe are a 501C3 nonprofit organization.Interested in sponsoring our podcasts email us at cominghomewell@gmail.comCheck out some of our other podcasts: Peace After CombatFreedom Sisters ShowThe Optimal Response Initiative Stay up to date and gain early access to new podcasts and upcoming ...

Over the last several decades, the public's understanding of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and the cognitive, behavioral, and emotional sequelae of the same has undergone radical transformation. There is ample evidence that supports the fact that rehabilitation is a critical part of the road to recovery and making treatment functional can be done successfully by a bridge into the community where the TBI survivor hopes to thrive. However, what's still missing is the society's lack of awareness of the needs of those who have sustained a TBI and are experiencing life-altering consequences.On this episode, the Senior Health Scientist on the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Team at the Center for Disease Control (CDC), Juliet Haarbauer-Krupa, PhD, returns to discuss the therapeutic consideration to successfully manage a TBI. This episode offers an expanded view on how to accentuate the lifestyle change in the form of skill building, use of compensatory strategies, and family support to build the person's hope back.About Julie Haarbauer-Krupa, Ph.D.Juliet Haarbauer-Krupa, PhD, is a Senior Health Scientist on the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Team in the Division of Unintentional Injury Prevention (DUIP) at the Injury Center.

What hazard could really be posed by daily activities like driving, biking, climbing, or walking?  They don't, until they do. An awkward step, a sudden turn, an unanticipated slip or a fall can alter the direction in which one's life is going. The Brain Injury Association of America reports that at least 2.5 million people encounter a traumatic brain injury each year. For some, the recovery may be quick and simple, while for others, it may be a life that has no semblance of normalcy.Since one in every 60 people in the U.S. lives with a disability that is a result of traumatic brain injury, it is critical that we understand how to identify, diagnose, and manage them. On this episode, Dr. Julie Haabauer-Krupa from the Center for Disease Control (CDC), will discuss how traumatic brain injury impacts attention, memory, speech, communication, movement, coordination, decision making, and executive function. This is an invitation to create communities that thrive by engaging in discussions to raise awareness on the long-standing impact of TBI on individuals, family members, caretakers, and society.About Julie Haarbauer-Krupa, Ph.D.Juliet Haarbauer-Krupa, PhD, is a Senior Health Scientist on the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Team in the Division of Unintentional Injury Prevention (DUIP) at the Injury Center.

Caregivers have a lot on their plates, but some caregivers, whether through notoriety or sheer desire, find they still have the opportunity to help others going through the same struggles they faced. In 2005, Lee Woodruff became a caregiver for her husband, Bob, an ABC news anchor and reporter wounded in Iraq. The couple went on to create the Bob Woodruff Foundation, designed to help veterans and their caregivers. Creating a large, national nonprofit isn't the only way to help others though. Telling your story so that others might feel less alone in their struggle is another way to help, so that's just what TBI Champion Jasmin Blair chose to do. In this episode of the TBI Family, we talked to Lee and Jasmin about their stories and helping others.

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.
