ICARE Treatment

The treatment is 12 teletherapy sessions lasting approximately 60-90 minutes. Of the 12 treatment sessions, 7 of them will focus on training skills to help the participant with TBI better recognize emotions from facial expressions. The remaining 5 sessions will teach skills important for empathizing with others' thoughts and feelings, and how to be emotionally supportive. Role-playing will be a big part of these last 5 sessions. The care-partner will be expected to attend as many of these 5 empathy sessions with the participant with TBI as possible.
