This week, we’re continuing our series of shows from the NABIS Live collaborative podcast series on Episode 228 of The Hidden Workforce!

Let’s welcome back Dr. Johnny Lifshitz! In this episode, Dr. Lifshitz shares with us about a difficult yet important topic to address in the field of Brain Injury- Domestic and Intimate Partner Violence related Traumatic Brain Injury.

“Jonathan Lifshitz, PhD, leads the Neurotrauma & Social Impact research team as a joint venture between the University of Michigan Concussion Center, Michigan Medicine Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, and VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System. He is appointed as a Michigan Impact Professor, a tenured Professor, and VA Research Health Scientist. Research projects focus on investigative, restorative, and regenerative treatments for traumatic brain injury as it develops into chronic neurodegenerative disease. We investigate domestic violence, child abuse, gender imbalance, marital norms, and Veteran mental health, with focus on inflammation and circuit reorganization to detect and intervene. The goal is to train generations of investigators to apply rigorous data to work for social impact, including health and medical outcomes. He leads local, state, and federal funded projects, including ones on cognitive rehabilitation, cardiovascular risk factors, vital imaging, neuroinflammation, and TBI during pregnancy. Currently, he is the scientific director for regional and national consortia to understand TBI arising from domestic violence…” (https://experts.umich.edu/13576-jonny-lifshitz)

This week, we get to talk about a new series of shows we’ll be sharing on Episode 226 of The Hidden Workforce!

Our show’s host, Lisa chats with co-host Maggie about the NABIS Live series.

Back in March, our team traveled to Washington DC, invited by the North American Brain Injury Society collaborating with Craig Hospital to feature some of the world’s leading experts on Brain Injury research, treatment, care, the diagnostic process, experts on different types and levels of Brain Injury for both adult and pediatric focuses/specialties, and more!

Maggie shares about what we did at the Brain Injury Summit with NABIS Live, some of the topics of shows to be expected, the experiences with the experts and leaders in the field, and how we hope these shows help or inspire a listener who lives with Acquired or Traumatic Brain Injury as well as their families.
