HeadStrong greatly appreciates the opportunity to lead our trainings at Seattle BrainWorks at Provail.

The HeadStrong Training Program is designed for people living with brain injury, family members, care-partners, professionals, para-professionals, and anyone living or working with people who live with brain injury. This training will help you reach your potential to be an empowering support person for yourself and others.

Identity is key to our motivations and roles in our communities and is nearly always impacted after brain injury. When our desired identity is supported, it helps us find a positive role in our community. We work with tools and exercises to recognize and rebuild an authentic desired identity.

HeadStrong is a non-profit organization based in western Washington that supports children, teens, and young adults who are living with brain injury and their families. The HeadStrong Training Program is based on the excellent model of the New York State TBI Apprenticeship Program. We are indebted to Tim Feeney, PhD and Mark Ylvisaker for their groundbreaking work in this field. Robert Karol, PhD work gave us insight on anger, reward and punishment, and alternatives to traditional behavioral interventions. We are also grateful to Aspiro Wilderness Therapy Camps for their work with young people and self-efficacy and the Arbinger Institute for their work with authentic communication. We are grateful to the many people who work everyday to rebuild meaningful lives after brain injury.
