Discussion points included employment challenges, ways to advocate for yourself, whether to disclose your disability, and Kessler Foundation research studies and supports available to help them. The mission of Voices is to champion and publicize the advocacy, rights, and needs of people who have survived a brain injury. The group is supported by the Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey.

Welcome to the 2017  Baird Visiting Educational Professorship Lecture.  Dr. Benjamin Hampstead presented by “Non-pharmacologic Treatment of Memory Impairment in Older Adults”===================================In 1957, William Torrey Baird, Jr., started a family tradition of giving to Kessler that has spanned across three generations. A veteran of the First World War, Mr. W. Baird, Jr., saw the power of rehabilitation after an injury and felt compelled to help. Joining Kessler’s Board of Trustees, he began a lifelong commitment of support to medical rehabilitation—a value that he passed down to his nephew, Collier W. Baird, Jr. Mr. C. Baird, Jr. furthered that commitment by establishing a trust to benefit Kessler Foundation and expand its research. A portion of the funds established the Baird Visiting Educational Professorship at Kessler Foundation. The Baird lecture continues to educate the next generation of researchers on innovative medical rehabilitation research and treatment options. Guest speakers frequently form collaborations with Foundation scientists to bring research advances around the globe.This years Baird lecturer is Dr. Benjamin Hampstead an Associate Professor in Psychiatry, University of Michigan, Staff Neuropsychologist, VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System, and Clinical Core Leader of the NIA funded Michigan Alzheimer’s Disease Core CenterDr. Hampstead is a licensed Psychologist and board certified Clinical Neuropsychologist who specializes in aging and dementia. His research is funded by the National Institutes of Health and Department of Veterans Affairs and examines the neuroanatomical bases of age- and disease-related cognitive change using structural and functional neuroimaging. Additionally, Dr. Hampstead investigates the neurorehabilitation of cognitive impairment using both cognitive rehabilitation and non-invasive electrical brain stimulation. He has authored multiple studies and co-edited a book entitled, “Cognitive Plasticity in Neurologic Disorders” on these topics.Dr. Hampstead presented “Non-pharmacologic Treatment of Memory Impairment in Older Adults” on Monday, November 6th, 2017 at the Kessler Foundation Conference Center, 120 Eagle Rock Ave, West Orange, NJ.This podcast was edited and produced by Joan Banks-Smith, Creative Producer for Kessler Foundation.
