All health professionals who work in the field of neurorehabiliation, as well as students, can become a member of GIRN, in order to be educated and updated on knowledge in the field of ABI. By means of specific conferences and workshop, neuro-cognitive rehabilitative protocols and guidelines, are shared and discussed among participants. GIRN works in partnership with several public and private institutions, in line with European and worldwide guidelines in this field. Furthermore, GIRN considers not only the patients with acquired brain injury but also their caregivers, as well as the environment in accordance with a biopsychosocial, holistic rehabilitation approach. In particular, we address caregiver needs by means of psychoeducational interventions in order to improve the patient management and outcome. Our aim is to optimally support the family system by means of a network, which assists in reducing caregiver burden and distress particularly on community re-entry.
