  • Ongoing case management, if required
  • Answering questions asked by individuals surviving an ABI and their caregivers and help them navigate the health care system
  • Linking them to resources and programs to assist with their recovery
  • Assisting with self-management strategies to manage their ABI and caregiving roles
