TBI&Work Toolkit: Employment Resources for People with Traumatic Brain Injury
Returning to work after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be challenging, but the right support can make a difference. AIR researchers developed this toolkit of free, practical, and evidence-based resources in partnership with people with TBI and other stakeholders. The toolkit will help you navigate workplace challenges, advocate for your needs, and succeed at work.
Please check back periodically as we continue to update the Toolkit with new resources.
Customizing TBI&Work Toolkit Resources
If your organization (e.g., vocational rehabilitation agencies, hospitals, clinics, organizations supporting people with TBI) is interested in customizing the TBI&Work resources as free information resources, we can add your organization’s logo, contact information, and any endorsement language on those resources. Please contact us for more information.
