COGNITIVE RESERVE (CR), term used to tell the ways the mind can use to compensate for damage to their brain, now popular for seniors&their caregivers,esp cos of connection to one of the biggest issues of modern aging:Dementia
Research shows that people with solid stores of CR, less likely to exhibit the classic signs of dementia—short-term memory loss, difficulty multitasking—brain scans show mental damage
→CR effectively makes the mind stronger and nimble, allows for ways to compensate for disease-related loss
Finding from Green (2013)

My new aim of 'The HICupARThi-st'!
Thru helping other survivors thru things (like HIC -the HeadInjuryCafe- and ARThi -art doing with those who survive Brain injury) I want to help other brain injury survivors take part again.
People always see survivors as 'Observers'.
==> That is not right! <==
email me if near Edinburgh and I can help you!
Contact details:
Please email 'The HICup ARThi-st' at ebmv74arthi@googlemail.com
Thanx!

To do things, and to take part again after a Brain Injury is hard.
After my own TBI (1988), I had to rebuild all of that.
--> This came to me in two stages;
-learning to be with, then to then work with people. As well as
-to learn that needed in prep for work.
Both these came slowly.
WHAT HELPED ME
I did creative work for myself and in community.
Included work with other disabled- and brain injured- peers.
=>Learned lots.
NOW WANT TO HELP OTHER TBI/ABI SURVIVORS.
->Set up=> 'HICupARThi-st'<-
based on what helped me.
This peer-support shares how learning to DO things needs two sides;
-to Work with others;
needed are to listen, to remember, to resume, deal with one-to-one, then to work with, then in groups.
-that needs focus, memory, use of hands, learning to resume and may be even change things, helps work.
Just found out about Disabled People User-ed Orgaisations (DPULOs) that receive Lib/Conservative Government backing.
WANT TO DO THAT, AND SET UP, A SCOTTISH (EDINBURGH-BASED) DPULO.
Can anybody help?
