Building A New Life After Brain Injury: A Peer to Peer Training Manual
ABIN-PA is proud to introduce its first Peer to Peer Training Manual for download and use by individuals and groups. This manual uses a "read aloud" format with group discussion at the end of each page. There are a few suggestions for group use at the back of the Manual but you are also welcome to request free training in this simple approach. We can easily help you out using our toll-free teleconferencing line. We want you to be able to present this program with confidence at your location - because group discussions and the sharing of examples bring this program alive. The response to the pilot session of our program was outstanding and we look forward to hearing the experience of other groups. Please check out the Manual and email info@abin-pa.org for more information.
