Whether we consider the high rates of intoxication at the time of injury, the new problems with substance use that develop post brain injury or the high prevalence of brain injury in people presenting for treatment of substance use, it is clear that substance use and brain injury make a particularly damaging combination. This course will provide an overview of the epidemiology of brain injury and substance use, an introduction to screening for brain injury and neuro-cognitive impairment as well as practical strategies for accommodating people living with the impact of brain injury in your clinical practice.
