A Discussion About Schurig Center Services & the Needs of Brain Injury Survivors and Caregivers
This presentation shares information about how Schurig Center designs services that enhance the quality of life for survivors of brain injury and their families. Participants will learn about the services offered at the center and how these services help improve moods, abilities, and foster increased self-esteem. Additionally, we discuss what our team has learned about the long-term needs of survivors and caregivers in our years of offering services at Schurig Center. It will be a dynamic conversation with time for questions throughout the presentation.
