Description:
The state of Oregon received a federal TBI Implementation Partnership grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration to improve access to quality services for individuals with brain injury. Oregon Department of Education subcontracts with the Teaching Research Institute to facilitate the program.
Improvements in services will be guided by a needs and resources assessment and by collaboration with state agencies and other statewide organizations, by disseminating information and education to legislators, and through specific targeted systems (including returning military, transitioning youth, and Native American groups).
Quarterly Fact of the Matter briefs will provide evidence-based information on current topics for providers and caregivers of people with brain injury. Past publications include the Family Advocacy Skills Training workbook (available free) and the updated commercially available version, Managing Care and Services after Brain Injury: A workbook for families and caregivers.
