Abstract

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBl) is complex and unique, encompassing a myriad of challenges for the person with the injury, rehabilitation counselors, and the survivor's family and friends. The challenges can affect work and family reintegration. Sustaining a TBI can result in familial strain as it affects the role and function of the individual with TBI in the family. Manifestations can include financial, psychological, and caregiver-related stress. Since individual andfamily coping mechanisms interrelate, it is important for rehabilitation counselors to appreciate theoretical constructs offamily resiliency. This article explores the rehabilitation counselor's need to assess the connectedness of family resiliency and community reintegration outcomes in persons with TBl; it also underscores the importance of evaluating family-inclusive rehabilitative interventions.
