TBICoE Presents:

In 2016, TBICoE started “The TBI Family,” a podcast focused on TBI caregivers and their loved ones. Each episode gives caregivers information on the TBI research, easy-to-use tools to aid in recovery, and available Department of Defense programs for both those living with TBI and their families. The TBI Family podcast also offers training and techniques to help caregivers manage their self-care. For more information, visit Health.mil/TBICoE.

In this episode, we explore psychological health and the related stigmas, particularly associated with traumatic brain injury in active-duty service members and veterans. We feature interviews with clinical psychologists Dr. Nick Polizzi with the Psychological Health Center of Excellence and Jimmy Paiz, United States Marine Corps veteran.

Episodes of Picking Your Brain focus on military and civilian medical providers, active-duty service members, and veterans who have sustained a TBI, as well as the loved ones who support their recovery process. For more information visit TBICoE’s website.
