SUMMARY:TBI among Women and Girls: A Research and Clinical Imperative
DESCRIPTION:Women and girls experience traumatic brain injuries (TBI) through a range of mechanisms—yet their experiences have historically been underrepresented in research and clinical practice. This research webinar will explore the unique ways TBI affects women and girls\, highlighting gaps in epidemiological data\, the role of social determinants of health\, and the need for biologically informed\, life-course–based research. Participants will gain insight into current challenges and opportunities for advancing equitable care\, policy\, and evidence-based interventions. \nLearning Objectives: \n\n	Identify unique mechanisms of traumatic brain injury (TBI) among women and girls\, including those historically overlooked such as interpersonal violence.\n	Examine how social determinants of health influence access to care\, engagement in treatment\, and recovery outcomes following TBI.\n	Discuss current research gaps and future directions\, including the role of biological factors and life-course perspectives in informing evidence-based interventions for women and girls with TBI.\n\nPresenters: \nLisa A. Brenner\, Ph.D.\, is a Board-Certified Rehabilitation Psychologist and a Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation\, Psychiatry\, and Neurology at the University of Colorado\, Anschutz Medical Campus. Dr. Brenner co-directs the VA Brain Health Coordinating Center. \nKatherine Price Snedaker\, LCSW\, is the CEO and Founder of PINK Concussions\, a non-profit focused on female brain injury from sports\, domestic violence/assault\, accidents\, or military service.

SUMMARY:BIF Self Paced Course (Live Sessions) November 2025
DESCRIPTION:Developed by experienced clinicians and rehabilitation professionals\, the Brain Injury Fundamentals Self-Paced Course is a flexible\, self-guided training and certificate program designed for non-licensed direct care staff\, facility personnel\, family members\, first responders\, and community members who support individuals living with brain injuries. No prior experience is required—making it an ideal starting point for those new to brain injury care. Most of the course is asynchronous\, allowing participants to complete seven on-demand video modules (available 24/7) at their own pace. A mandatory live instructor-led webinar\, held once monthly\, provides interactive guidance and is required to earn the certificate. Registration is ongoing\, and participants can choose the live session date that best fits their schedule. Course content includes essential topics such as cognition\, behavior\, communication\, medical complications\, medication safety\, and family support. The program takes approximately eight hours to complete. While this course is not a prerequisite\, it offers an excellent introduction for those interested in pursuing advanced opportunities such as the Certified Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS) credential\, becoming a CBIS Trainer (CBIST)\, or earning the CBIS Advanced Practice (CBIS-AP) distinction—ideal next steps for professionals looking to expand their impact in brain injury rehabilitation.
