What does it mean to have a creative mindset - and how can it help brain injury recovery? Let’s talk about it!
This week, Cristabelle is joined by fellow survivor Ali Rheaume to discuss the benefits of creativity, and how having a creative mindset can aid in adaptability.
Ali will also share how incorporating creativity in rehabilitation helped her go from a 10% functioning level and nonverbal after TBI to where she is today! Creative activities can help with learning skills post-TBI like trying new things, expressing emotions, and coping with change. This is an encouraging episode full of practical tips and application points!
