Next up with Bryan is the newest President of the BIAMD Board, Julie Karp. Julie Karp is a psychologist and provides individual and group counseling and cognitive rehabilitation to individuals who have sustained a brain injury. Occasionally, she will work with family members of individuals who have had a brain injury. Counseling often focuses on dealing with the different emotions and life changes that occur after a brain injury.  Julie is also a Certified Brain Injury Specialist.  She started learning about brain injuries when she was in graduate school but began providing more services when she started working at Sinai Hospital in 1992. Sinai has a dedicated brain injury day program as well as outpatient brain injury services. On a personal note, when Julie was 8 years old, she was in a car accident and sustained a hairline fracture of her skull. Although there was not much focus on concussions/mild TBi's at that time, she is sure she was concussed.  Julie lives in Baltimore and really enjoys seeing other parts of the world; her most recent trip was to Cambodia and Malaysia. She is a distance swimmer, having completed several 6-mile swims. She loves playing and snuggling with her German Shepherd.   Dr Karp's email is [email protected]   #5Thoughts Friday: Blue Crabs, BikeRides, and Brain Rules   For more information you can visit www.biamd.org or call the free helpline at 1-800-221-6443.   Disclaimer: This podcast is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute endorsement of treatments, individuals, or programs which appear herein.
