Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Support
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be profoundly life-altering—not only for the individual who sustains the injury, but also for their loved ones. Because the brain shapes how we think, feel, move, learn, and perceive the world, a TBI can affect nearly every aspect of daily life. Changes may appear in physical abilities, cognitive functioning, emotions, behavior, and overall identity. Connecting with LoveYourBrain is strongly encouraged for both caregivers and for individuals who have sustained a Traumatic Brain Injury.
Birth Breath Connect provides holistic support for individuals with TBI. We utilize traditional speech language therapy such as speech and language processing and both social and cognitive communication skills combined with whole-person practices such as mindset work, meditation, breathwork, and community connection.
