This presentation will review data supporting the conclusion that brain injury is a chronic, yet dynamic, condition. Components of a so called "disease management" approach will be delineated and a proactive model for lifelong management of brain
injury will be described. The National Institute on Disability Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research funded BeHEALTHY project will be described and next steps toward changing care for brain injury discussed.

Learning Objectives:

Recount the BeHEALTHY project concepts.
list at least four neuropsychological interventions that are needed to address the long-term needs of people with chronic brain injury
Discuss through an in-depth case study and neuropsychological formulation in order to explore how to increase awareness, acceptance, and realism, after a stroke with residual aphasia through individual psychotherapy and group psychotherapy interventions in a holistic neuro-rehabilitation setting.
discuss why it is important to integrate psychotherapy with cognitive rehabilitation
