INSTRUCTOR: Kit Malia
15 Adventures, 16 Challenges, and 20 Insights to help Adjustment following Neurological Injury. We have run education groups over many years and during this time we have discovered that certain concepts are key in helping people move forward in rehabilitation. The 51 stories, analogies, similes and images that we have used in this book form the basis of our education group.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This one day interactive workshop is suitable for professionals working with people who have neurological problems. The course will teach you what to focus on in an education group using Hero's Journey (which is provided as part of the workshop). This book is the essential information that all patients and relatives (and staff) should understand in enabling their journey towards an adjusted position - to a new sense of self. It consists of 15 Adventures, 16 Challenges, and 20 Insights.
