Collaboration Across Systems: Making the Most Out of Partnerships

Collaboration Across Systems: Making the Most Out of Partnerships

Increasingly, the challenges of serving and supporting individuals with brain injury call for a multipurpose approach. Collaboration across and among service systems helps to achieve the best outcomes for people. The idea of collaboration seems easy but understanding the key elements of effective collaboration and how to apply them takes work and time but results in better success long term. This webinar will focus on why effective collaboration is so important, highlight how shared goals, strong communication, and building capacity fuel effective collaboration, and showcase the successes in NASHIA member states stemming from effective collaboration.
