Are you a holistic health practitioner dedicated to whole-person wellness? Do you seek to expand your expertise and truly transform lives, especially for those navigating complex, often unseen health challenges?

Join Get Out There with Acquired Brain Injury (GOT ABI) for an illuminating 60-minute session, “Beyond the Brain: Embracing Holistic Health for Brain Injury Recovery.” This isn’t just another lecture; it’s an invitation to deepen your understanding, broaden your impact, and become a vital part of a growing movement towards truly integrated care for individuals with brain injury.

Who is this talk for?

This presentation is specifically designed for:

  • Holistic Health Practitioners
  • Wellness Enthusiasts & Advocates
  • Anyone seeking to broaden their understanding of neuro-holistic connections: If you’re curious about the intricate interplay between the brain, body, and spirit in the context of neurological recovery, this talk is for you.

What You’ll Walk Away With:

  • A Deeper Understanding the Full Scope of Brain Injury: Move beyond basic
    definitions to grasp the systemic impact of acquired brain injury – not just on the brain, but on emotional regulation, sleep, chronic pain, gut health, social interactions, and overall quality of life. You’ll gain insight into the often-invisible struggles faced by survivors.
  • Actionable Strategies for Your Practice: Discover tangible ways your specific holistic modality can directly address common post-ABI symptoms. Learn how targeted nutritional interventions, mindfulness techniques, gentle movement, and energy work can support neuroplasticity, reduce inflammation, manage pain, improve sleep, and restore emotional balance.
  • The “Why” Behind Holistic Integration: Understand why conventional medical models, while crucial, often leave significant gaps in long-term ABI recovery, and how holistic approaches are uniquely positioned to fill these voids, offering hope and empowerment.
  • Opportunities for Meaningful Collaboration: Learn how your practice can partner with GOT ABI to provide vital support and resources to young adults living with ABI. Discover avenues for client referrals, volunteering your expertise for workshops, and exploring professional training opportunities that can enhance your team’s understanding of inclusive care.
  • Inspiration to Engage with Nature: Hear about GOT ABI’s exciting partnership with the Pinelands Preservation Alliance’s “Nature Accessible for All” initiative, and how our monthly accessible nature walks are providing community, gentle exercise, and crucial data for making New Jersey’s beautiful natural spaces truly accessible for everyone.

Why You Can’t Miss This Talk:
Brain injury is a prevalent yet often misunderstood condition that profoundly impacts individuals and their families. As holistic and wellness practitioners, you possess the very tools and philosophies needed to offer profound healing and support where it’s most desperately needed.

Don’t miss this chance to deepen your knowledge, broaden your reach, and make a tangible difference in the lives of individuals striving for recovery and thriving after a brain injury. Your expertise is a powerful asset in this journey.
