In this episode of Brainstorms, host Renee Garrett, MSEd, CCC-SLP, CBIS, is joined by Dr. Melissa Brunner, PhD, MHlthSC, CPSP, to explore how social media can support connection and identity rebuilding after acquired brain injury when used thoughtfully and safely.
Social media has the potential to offer community, purpose, and support after ABI, but for many survivors and caregivers, it can also feel overwhelming, risky, or confusing. Renee and Dr. Brunner introduce the concept of SocialAbility and share practical, functional strategies SLPs can use to help clients navigate online spaces with greater confidence, boundaries, and self-awareness.
Designed for SLPs, caregivers, and survivors alike, this conversation offers compassionate guidance and real-world approaches for using social media as a meaningful and safe bridge back to social connection.
