dc.description.abstractWomen accessing domestic violence shelter services may have mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) which require front-line workers to adapt their assistance given these women may be suffering from many debilitating psychological symptoms. However, there is scarce evidence-based informative material for DV workers about the signs of an mTBI. To that end, a comprehensive review of the research and literature on mTBI outcomes was completed resulting in the applied element of this being twofold: (a) a list of three practical and screenings considerations for shelter supervisors to use as learning objectives to review with their staff and, (b) a manuscript for publication in a Canadian peer-reviewed journal that integrates research into practice, by consolidating research in this area into three up-to-date recommendations for DV front-line workers with no specialization in brain injuries, to refer to when working with individuals showing signs of mTBI.en_US
