Vocational Services

Most survivors of brain injuries see employment as a big milestone in their recovery and as a means to independence, self-worth, and community reintegration. However, finding and maintaining employment is a big, long-term challenge for them. Their challenges are often invisible (e.g., thinking or memory); therefore, many survivors are easily misunderstood and their abilities are either overestimated or underestimated by employers. In fact, because of their impaired cognition, survivors often have a hard time recognizing their own capabilities and challenges. It requires great effort for survivors to discover their true capabilities and find and maintain suitable employment. Brain Injury Services vocational specialists help our clients through this process as they reintegrate back into the workplace through supported employment and volunteer placement services.
