HHS Offers Resources for Texans with Brain Injury

Brain Injury Awareness Month provides an opportunity to bring attention to the prevention of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to promote strategies to improve the quality of life for people living with TBI and their families.

The HHS Comprehensive Rehabilitation Services program helps Texans who have experienced a TBI or traumatic spinal cord injury gain and maintain independence in their homes and communities.

“People who have experienced a brain injury and their families are determined and resilient,” said Christine Medeiros, Brain Injury Programs manager. “It is exciting to see the positive outcomes that are achieved after receiving supports from the Texas Brain Injury Programs.”

Participants work closely with counselors and family members to identify rehabilitation goals and services to support independence. Services may include inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services, and/or post-acute brain injury services.
