Concussion: What you need to know.
Consider your brain like water in a glass, when the glass abruptly stops, the fluid is forced unevenly to one side. Physical contact is not even required. Like gelatin, the brain experiences damage from stretching, snapping, and pressure against the sides of the skull, as well as, bony protrusions. A mild to moderate concussion can cause debilitating symptoms and make normal functioning difficult. Understanding what is happening is the first step in managing a concussion. Clients / family who seek help early are better prepared to deal with symptoms and experience less anxiety and depression. Coping skills and neuroplasticity are key.

Dealing with Dementia (Transitioning)
Understanding what is happening to you or your loved one is the first step in managing dementia. In fact, I quickly stop using the word and focus on "Transitioning". Clients and family who seek help early on handle the transition better with less anxiety and depression. Learn important ways to make everyone comfortable and safe. Learn coping skills, tips & tricks, and even ways to utilize neuroplasticity.
