Professor Tamara Ownsworth Invited to Shape International Training in Brain Injury Rehabilitation

Professor Tamara Ownsworth recently served as Faculty for the Saugatuck Institute for Neuropsychological Rehabilitation (SINR), held in Michigan, USA, from 2–5 June 2026.

Established in 2023 by Dr Jill Winegardner and Dr Lance Trexler, SINR provides intensive clinical training for multidisciplinary clinicians working in neuropsychological rehabilitation. The 2026 program focused on rehabilitation of identity after brain injury and brought together national and international experts to share current research and clinical approaches.

Professor Ownsworth contributed to the program's sessions on the psychological and emotional aspects of identity following brain injury. Across the four-day program, participants explored a range of topics relating to identity, including neurological, cognitive, psychotherapeutic, social engagement and community perspectives. Each day incorporated lectures, practice case discussions, skills workshops and panel sessions designed to support the translation of evidence into clinical practice.

Professor Ownsworth's involvement reflected The Hopkins Centre's ongoing contribution to advancing knowledge and practice in brain injury rehabilitation and supporting opportunities for international collaboration and knowledge exchange.

The Hopkins Centre congratulates Professor Ownsworth on this prestigious international recognition and her ongoing contributions to improving rehabilitation outcomes for people living with brain injury worldwide.
