Beyond the therapy room: Addressing stigma in rehabilitation
Date: Wednesday, December 10th, 2025
Time: 12:00 – 1:00 pm EST
About the Presentation:
Stigma after acquired brain injury (ABI) is a complex, multi-level phenomenon that extends beyond individual experiences and is shaped by social contexts. This webinar introduces key stigma models relevant to neuropsychological rehabilitation and highlights the most important findings to date in the ABI literature. It also presents a stigma scale originally developed in the United Kingdom and validated in Chile, positioning it as a useful tool that can be incorporated into neuropsychological assessment batteries. Finally, the talk proposes two intervention pathways that move beyond the therapy room: public and professional psychoeducation to reduce misconceptions about ABI, and peer support groups as community spaces where people with ABI can build a shared identity that protects against the negative consequences of stigma.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe key theoretical models of stigma relevant to neuropsychological rehabilitation.
- Introduce assessment approaches to stigma in neuropsychology.
- Present strategies to address stigma through psychoeducation and peer support groups.
