Beacon Place Open House, The Place Where Hope Never Ends

CENTRAL VALLEY, N.Y. - July 17, 2016 - PRLog -- Each year in New York Traumatic Brain Injuries account for:

*120,409 Emergency Room Visits

*19,368 Hospitalizations

*2,279 deaths

Not all TBI's are reported, the actual numbers are probably significantly higher.

The impact of these injuries is significant. Lives change in an instant, for the injured person and for the family. The person's injury may be life threatening. They may be left with disabling conditions; their walking, speech, memory and abilities in other areas may be affected.

Treatment is available. Initially the injured person may received acute care at a hospital. The goal is stabilization and helping the person through the medical crisis. Once stabilized the person may be referred for rehabilitation where they receive intense services to help them with areas that may have deteriorated. Physical therapy, Occupational Therapy, Counseling, Psychiatry and other services may be provided.

Afterwards programs such as Beacon Place are there to help.

Structured Day Programs

Structured Day Programs are available to help focus on helping the person in improving their skills and abilities and maintaining living as independently as possible. We help with activities involving socialization, medical management, self-care, communication skills, completing tasks, organization, problem-solving skills, budgeting and money management, as well as other skills needed to succeed in a household.

Knowledgeable counselors are here to help individuals with TBI deal with the emotional challenges arising from living in a community. Difficulties with frustration, anxieties or relationships can be addressed. Our clients will have caring people to help help them cope with challenges. We are knowledgeable, we care and we are here to help.

Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support
Helps the person with TBI succeed if there are behavioral difficulties or challenges that put him or her at risk for not being able to remain in the community. A caring and knowledgeable clinician will come to the client's home or program to provide support to help address and solve problems and challenges. One can think of this service as a "task force" called in to strongly address an issue and addressing it in a caring and supportive environment.

Independent Living Skills Training
Living in the community requires a lot of skills that are sometimes challenging due to traumatic brain injury. Independent Living Skills Training helps develop and maintain those skills. Budgeting, money management, medication management, task completion, problem solving and other areas are addressed to help our clients succeed in living as independently as possible.

Counseling and Psychotherapy

Counseling, psychotherapy and hypnosis are available to help the person with TBI and their families to deal with the impact of TBI on their lives.
