After an individual has been in the program for two weeks and adjusted to the new environment, we complete a comprehensive evaluation. This evaluation will focus on the whole person to better understand the strengths and areas that present challenges for the individual. The areas that will be evaluated include cognitive, social, emotional, vocational, independent living, and medical. Community Transitions is designed to enable each individual to be independent in the community and to utilize natural supports. | Whole person philosophy developed by neuropsychologist Dr. Jim Gardiner. |
After discharge, we encourage participation in our Survivors Group, which meets on a weekly basis (Tuesdays at 12PM) and is free to all former participants in the program. We also encourage everyone to attend the Brain Injury Support Group of the Black Hills which we facilitate and is open to everyone including survivors, family members, friends and professionals. The group meets the second Tuesday of every month. For more information on this and other brain injury support groups, please visit our Resources and Support Groups web page. |
