WJLA, an ABC News affiliate, highlights the Virginia Commonwealth Traumatic Brain Injury Model System’s work on relationships after brain injury

WJLA News, the Washington, DC-based affiliate of ABC News, featured the innovative work of Dr. Jeffrey Kreutzer’s team at the Virginia Commonwealth Traumatic Brain Injury Model System (VCU-TBIMS) on couples’ relationships after brain injury.

The story follows Kurt Olsen and his wife Jennifer Olsen, who suffered a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) after a car accident in 2009. The Olsens sought the help of Dr. Jeffery Kreutzer and his team at VCU; Kreutzer’s group offers novel evidence-based counseling methods specifically tailored for couples affected by TBI.

VCU-TBIMS’ work on post-TBI relationships was also featured by The New York Times earlier this year.
