Balance and Mantrams

The TBI Family

In the second episode of The TBI Family, we talk about balance issues after TBI and how caregivers can help providers treat them. We also explore an ancient mindfulness technique that's now helping people cope with the challenges of caregiving. Featured in this podcast: Dr. Katie Stout, DVBIC's director of clinical affairs; Jill Bormann, a nurse researcher with the Veterans Affairs San Diego Healthcare System. The TBI Family is produced by the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center. This podcast will provide caregivers of service members and veterans with TBI with information on traumatic brain injury and highlight resources available to them. We'll also share caregiver stories.
