Toolkit and Workbook— Traumatic Brain Injury and Substance Use Disorders: Making the Connections
This toolkit merges the content on traumatic brain injury (TBI) and substance use disorders (SUD) to expand capacity to address both issues in treatment. The author, Dr. Carolyn Lemsky, is a board-certified neuropsychologist with over 25 years of experience working in rehabilitation settings in the U.S. and Canada. The toolkit provides valuable and practical information for advancing behavioral health providers’ capacity when serving persons who have brain injuries. The toolkit is a collaboration with the Mountain Plains Addiction Technology Transfer Center and the Mid-America Addiction Technology Transfer Center and the National Association of State Head Injury Administrators (NASHIA).
The accompanying workbook is created for people who are living with the effects of a brain injury and are wondering how their substance use may be affecting them.
