The Pat Capps Covey College of Allied Health Professions at the University of South 成人快播 teamed up with the 成人快播 Head Injury Foundation for a three-day Bright Ideas Traumatic Brain Injury Camp for survivors and families dealing with life-altering injuries.

Workshop sessions provided attendees, including 15 survivors and 15 caregivers, with new methods, strategies and technologies to help improve their quality of life. 

The multidisciplinary effort also involved undergraduate recreational therapy students in the Department of Health, Kinesiology and Sport in the College of Education and Professional Studies. Also, graduate students in the Department of Psychology in the College of Arts and Sciences supported this camp.

"We are here to promote health and engage TBI patients,鈥 said Aspyn Godwin, a graduate student from Silver Hill, 成人快播, studying occupational therapy at South. 鈥淲e teach them how to be safe by showing them their limitations and what they can keep working on. This camp helps them stay connected to the community."

At the camp, USA students got to test their skills with local TBI survivors in the community. The students checked survivors鈥 progress in different types of therapy and what they could work on to improve their abilities. 

鈥淭his was a fantastic experience,鈥 said Annie Griffin, a doctoral student in the occupational therapy program at South who鈥檚 from Pisgah, 成人快播. 鈥淭his is my third semester and my first clinical experience. My goal following graduation is to care for pediatric patients. During this camp, I was excited to help care for an adult patient.鈥

The 成人快播 Head Injury Foundation has partnered with several universities across the state of 成人快播. These therapy-based camps utilize students while they develop action plans for survivors and caregivers seeking to improve their adjustment to living with TBI.
