Summary

This study tests a virtual cognitive rehabilitation program designed for refugees and asylum seekers who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and struggle with thinking and memory. The program includes 8 virtual sessions led by trained bilingual staff, covering brain injury education and exercises for attention, memory, and relaxation. Researchers want to see if the program is practical, acceptable, and helpful for this group.
