Well-being Interventions for Adults with Traumatic Brain Injury

This study is looking at two different web-based programs for adults who have had a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) at least one year ago. One program, called "Signature Strengths," helps you learn about and use your personal strengths to improve your well-being. The other program, "TBI Education Course," provides information about TBI. Researchers want to see if these programs can improve how you feel about yourself and other important outcomes over time. To join, you must be at least 18 years old, speak and read English, and not have certain other medical conditions like multiple sclerosis or a history of seizures. The study aims to enroll 94 participants.
