NCC NEWS AND UPDATES
Throughout the past month, Neuro Community Care staff has been busy developing supports for providers, warriors, and their families. Our provider webinar series focused on best practices for a successful transition to virtual CSS sessions. If you will be providing virtual CSS services in the future and would like to gain access to this webinar series and accompanying resources, please reach out to your Case Manager or Case Coordinator.
In addition, we have added a section on our website devoted to COVID-19 resources and will continue to update as needed.
Over the past 2 weeks, NCC has partnered with Wounded Wounded Project to offer a series of Alternative therapy sessions to our warriors and caregivers. Sessions focused on art, music, expressive writing, and physical health and wellness programs to allow warriors to continue accessing alternative therapies and provide a chance for interested warriors to try them out in the comfort of their own home.
NCC is committed to developing new ways to reach and support our providers, warriors and families during these changing times. We encourage you to reach out to us and let us know how we can best support you and your staff.
We have also started highlighting the wonderful work of our CSS and agencies through our Provider Spotlight. Please see our first Spotlight below and on our website.
We look forward to sharing resources and trainings with you each month. If you have a resource that may be beneficial to all of our agencies, please contact Jenny Abramson at Jabramson@neurocc.com.
