Free Brain Injury Workshop Series
Would you like to learn more about your brain injury and how to cope with it? Now you can! Join RISE to Thrive (formerly known as THRIVE). Work with a neuropsychologist and content experts to gain new knowledge and skills after a traumatic brain injury.
RISE (Rehabilitation Inspiration Support and Education) to Thrive provides real-world opportunities to practice strategies learned in sessions. These strategies help improve thinking skills, manage emotional distress, and support recovery, giving participants practical tools for daily life.
