Traumatic Brain Injury and Intimate Partner Violence

On the podcast this week, Caitlin is joined by Christina Hennelly, the Intimate Partner Violence Specialist and Peer Support Coordinator at the Brain Injury Association of Waterloo-Wellington. During the conversation, Christina shares some information on what the Brain Injury Association does, why it is so important to discuss brain injury in relation to intimate partner violence, and she provides suggestions for ways in which we might support someone in our lives who may be going through or has gone through the trauma of intimate partner violence.
