S2 - Ep 5: Accommodating a Concussion in the Classroom
In 2022, OBIA and HeadsupCAN have developed five more multi-media podcasts that will be released throughout June as part of Brain Injury Awareness Month. The episodes will be led by a leading expert in the field and consist of a group of individuals who have sustained brain injuries discussing their experiences in a safe and supportive environment.
Each episode looks at different aspects of the recovery process.
We are so grateful to all the participants for being so open about sharing their experiences of concussion/TBI. Thank you as well to our fantastic facilitators who guided these conversations and encouraged participants to feel safe to share their stories. We hope these stories will help others not feel alone in their journey and give them hope for their future.
