Summary
This study tested a free service called Resource Facilitation for people with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Participants worked one-on-one with a specialist to set goals and connect with services. The goal was to see if this support improves quality of life and reduces disability. 90 adults with documented TBI took part, with some receiving the service and others acting as a control group.
