The Recovering from brain injury booklet is designed to fill the gap in resources available to women who have a brain injury caused by domestic, family and sexual violence (DFSV). It does this by providing information directly to the woman, and by creating an opportunity for service providers to work with the woman to create a recovery plan that reflects her unique circumstances.
This booklet should be given to the woman in conjunction with health promotion or psychosocial education. Brain injury: A practitioner guide will help you prepare for this conversation.
The booklet will be useful when you are working with women with a diagnosed or suspected mild brain injury resulting from recent or historical DFSV. The booklet may also help you support women recovering from more serious brain injuries, and women whose brain injuries were not the result of violence, including those injured in accidents and through sexual choking.
