Summary

This trial will test a new therapy to see if it can help reduce criminal behavior in people with brain injury.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English-speaking adults over 18 with a history of brain injury, who are returning to specific counties in the U.S. within six months of release from incarceration. They must show significant cognitive impairment on certain tests.

What is being tested?

The study is testing NeuroResource Facilitation (NRF), an innovative approach aimed at reducing repeat offenses among individuals with traumatic brain injuries by providing them with specialized support and resources.

What are the potential side effects?

Since NRF involves supportive services rather than medical or pharmaceutical interventions, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience varying degrees of emotional or psychological impact.

Participants may also be referred to a group run by the Facilitator in conjunction with staff from the prison. The facilitator will also tell the participant about resources that are available to help after the participant's release and help participants get connected to them.
