WA State TBI Support Group
Meeting Details
Start Time:
WA State TBI Support Group
Description
The session will be focusing on discussing our automatic routines in daily life. Our brains are highly efficient and seek to minimize the energy necessary to execute tasks, thus relegating much of our actions and behaviors to our subconscious. However, when establishing a “new normal” after sustaining a brain injury, it can be beneficial to embrace mindful thinking, as it can aid in identifying the beliefs and reasons one behaves. Through awareness, change can truly occur. Through discussion and practice, the group will explore the best strategies for enabling mindful thinking when living with a brain injury and provide opportunities for personal support and reflection.
Washington State Support Groups
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
The Washington State Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Strategic Partnership Advisory Council provides Support Groups through the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) that emphasize connection, education, and engagement in life after sustaining a TBI.
Our Support Groups are predicated on the concept of a person-centered approach that can aid in the development of long-term knowledge and generic problem-solving skills to help attendees overcome barriers to sustaining a fulfilling life.
These Support Groups may provide a therapeutic effect, but they do not provide therapy and instead focus on delivering organized bodies of knowledge and resources for the betterment of attendees.
*Please note, groups with "private" in the title are specifically for groups hosted in facilities and are not open for public entry.
