Traumatic Brain Injury and Mental Health: Intensive Workshops

To address concerns around traumatic brain injury (TBI) and mental health, the Mountain Plains Mental Health Technology Transfer Center has partnered with the National Association of State Health Injury Administrators to host a series of workshops focused on the intersection of TBI and mental health.

This first session was open to a general audience and provided attendees with a working knowledge of TBI and its relation to mental health. This 60-minute session is a pre-requisite for anyone wanting to attend any of the workshops that follow.
