Los miembros del equipo de ABI RESOURCES siguen las directivas de los terapeutas cognitivo-conductuales de CBT. Muchos sobrevivientes de lesiones cerebrales sufren problemas de memoria y pueden beneficiarse si un miembro del equipo los acompaña durante las sesiones de TCC. El miembro del equipo puede abordar inquietudes y comportamientos actuales y ayudar a implementar las directivas de la TCC. La terapia cognitivo-conductual (TCC) es una forma de psicoterapia que trata problemas y aumenta la felicidad modificando emociones, comportamientos y pensamientos disfuncionales. La TCC se centra en soluciones, animando a los pacientes a desafiar las cogniciones distorsionadas y cambiar patrones de comportamiento destructivos. La TCC se centra en el desarrollo de estrategias personales de afrontamiento que apuntan a resolver problemas actuales y cambiar patrones inútiles en las cogniciones (por ejemplo, pensamientos, creencias y actitudes), conductas y regulación emocional. La TCC es una forma de terapia "centrada en el problema" y "orientada a la acción". El papel del terapeuta es ayudar al cliente a encontrar y practicar estrategias efectivas para abordar los objetivos identificados y disminuir los síntomas del trastorno. La TCC se basa en la creencia de que las distorsiones del pensamiento y las conductas desadaptativas desempeñan un papel en el desarrollo y mantenimiento de los trastornos psicológicos y que los síntomas y la angustia asociada pueden reducirse enseñando nuevas habilidades de procesamiento de información y mecanismos de afrontamiento. http://www.abct.org/Home/ Servicios de atención médica domiciliaria de Connecticut

There are two Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Waivers, known as ABI Waiver I and ABI Waiver II, which are provided by the Federal Government and administered by the Depa rtment of Social Services (DSS). These waivers provide a person-centered plan of care for an array of non-medical, home and community-based services to individuals with an acquired brain injury who currently receive or would otherwise require services in an institutional setting. What is Person-Centered care? • Care that’s guided and informed by a person’s goals, preferences, and values. • The success of the services is measured by the person ’s reported outcomes success. • Integrated and coordinated care across health systems, providers, and care settings. • A team works together to support managing chronic and complex challenges. • Relationships are built on trust and a commitment to the person ’s long-term well-being. What does person-centered care mean for a person? Person-centered care allows a person to make informed decisions about their treatment and well-being.

Doctors and other healthcare professionals help person-centered care persons manage their health care by providing tools and services that align with their preferences and values so they can reach their health goals. What does person-centered care mean for ABI Resources? Person-centered care means doctors and other healthcare providers work collaboratively with a person and other healthcare providers to do what is best for the person’s health and well-being. It offers healthcare providers the necessary support, like access to a person’s health data to understand their comprehensive needs. By providing doctors and other healthcare providers with this big-picture information, ABI Resources is better equipped to develop care plans that include empathy, dignity, and respect for persons, their families, and other caregivers.

Connecticut Conservatorship MFP provides support and resources for individuals with ABI/TBI and stroke. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for those affected by brain injury and ensure their rights are protected through effective conservatorship. Join us in our mission. ( Conserv atorship ) What is a Conse rvator? A conservator is a person appointed by the Probate Court to oversee the financial or personal affairs of an adult. In an involuntary conservatorship, a conservator is appointed only if the court determines that the individual is unable to c are for him or herself or unable to manage his or her financial affairs. In a voluntary conservatorship, the court appoints a conservator at the request of an adult who seeks assistance in managing his or her affairs without making finding that the individual is incapable. There are two kinds of conservators. A conservator of the person supervises personal affairs and ensures that the person's basic n eeds, including food, shelter, clothing, and health care, are met. A conservator of the estate supervises financial affairs, including caring for the property, managing bank accounts, and ensuring the safe handling of the person's income. Often, the Probate Court will appoint a family member of the individual, or his or her close friend, as the conservator. Sometimes the court will appoint someone else, such as a lawyer. The court tries to determine whom the conserved person prefers but, if a conflict exists, may appoint an uninterested party.
