Victoria Butzer from the Vista Centre has presented our programs on ABI (Acquired Brain Injury). She has designed this program to explain the skills need to teach "Life Skills" to your clients. It is something she is very familiar with from her clients with ABI. In HBCM we know you support individuals one-on-one to acquire and maintain housing, and with their other identified goals.
Victoria is asking you to send me some of your challenges, so that she can cover them in the session.
