Not Too Late to Register for Adjustment to Brain Injury Workshop 9/16

The Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey is still accepting registrations for the Adjustment to Brain Injury workshop at Bacharach Institute.

It’s not too late to register for the Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey (BIANJ)‘s free educational session entitled Adjustment to Brain Injury on Wednesday, September 16 from 6-8 pm at the Bacharach Institute for Rehabilitation, 61 West Jimmie Leeds Road, Pomona, NJ 08240.

The program, which brings together people with brain injury, their families and friends, and concerned allied health professionals, aims to promote awareness and management of brain injury through a presentation and forum for questions. The session is facilitated by Peggy DiTommaso, MSW, who has volunteered her time to BIANJ as a Support Group Leader for over 20 years.

BIANJ is able to provide Adjustment to Brain Injury with funding from the New Jersey Traumatic Brain Injury Fund, which was created, in part, to provide for public education and prevention activities related to brain injury. Additional sessions are offered each month in a different county statewide.
