Tbi Warrior Foundation

Rehabilitation and Vocational Counseling Program: This program assists individuals with cognitive, physical, and emotional disabilities identify reasonable accommodations to meet the requirements and needs to integrate into education and/or job placement and retention. This includes on-the-job training and supportive employment. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the service includes information and mitigation strategies to achieve education and employment readiness in a new educational or work environment. We provide medical supplies and/or equipment that promote independence and tools that will mitigate the challenges posed by the new disadvantages resulting from the pandemic. TBIWF aided individuals with disabilities to identify reasonable accommodations helping meet the needs and requirements to facilitate integration towards education and/or job placement and retention. Additionally, TBIWF provided assistive devices and technology to meet the needs to support e-learning platforms and financial assistance to mitigate the additional expenses resulting from a work-at-home environment.

2022 Respite Care for Family Caregivers: We provide virtual and in-person support to family caregivers through activities, financial assistance for home health for their care recipient, and/or workshops to improve their ability to care for themselves and their care recipient. Respite care served family caregivers. The services included seminars and training to improve the ability to care for themselves and their care recipient. Additionally, we provided coverage for 3,500 hours of home health assistance, educational tools, certifications, and seminars associated with caring for a loved one.

2022 Access to Care: This program provides support to facilitate the access to medical care, rehabilitation programs, and services to improve health and wellbeing. We provide financial assistance to cover the cost of factors that inhibit the person with a disability or the family caregiver from receiving the medical care they need. We also sponsor activities that promote physical, cognitive, or mental healing.

The Access to Care assistance included: Transportation for medical purposes (i.e. ambulance, Uber, gas), reimbursement for medical expenses (i.e. co-pays), medical supplies provided (i.e. adult diapers, pads), medical equipment for independence, accessibility, and safety (i.e. ramps, shower bars, robotic utensils).
