Caregiver Workshop Coping with the Unique Challenges of Adults with Brain Disease University of California, San Francisco Mission Bay Campus

Today’s Agenda (30min) Understanding who is here What the research has to say How brain disease affects children’s development A Framework for Parenting with a disability What is out there for help

Who is here?

Research: Brain Disease and Parenting Very few studies that address brain disease and parenting Immediate impact of impairment significantly affects the children and caregiver. Depression – in child and/or parents Altered routines Lack of attention Increased marital conflict Loss/altered personality/disability Increased stress (time, money, uncertainty) “My kids were born before my brain injury. Now I’m afraid I’m not a good enough parent.”

Long term effects of Brain Injury Long term there is little evidence that brain injury effects parenting skills or children's adjustment (one exception is higher levels of depression). However, parents saw themselves as less accepting of their children, less able to express positive feelings toward their children, less encouraging of their children’s skills putting less pressure on their children to be orderly and conforming. Their spouses rated themselves as less loving and accepting Children DISAGREE, except less insistent on the child’s following rules and standards

Silverlinings Every study mentions the possibility of benefits that come to the children. “Well, I’ve found that in some ways my TBI has turned out to be useful. For example, I have to keep myself so well organized that my kids are learning this from me.”
