Optimizing recovery after brain injury requires balancing length of stay, individualized treatment, and strong discharge planning.

Recent research from Nexus Neurorecovery Center found that patients discharged home achieved the strongest functional and psychosocial gains — underscoring the vital role of coordinated transition planning and community supports in long-term recovery.

The holidays can be wonderful — and overwhelming — for families of children with medical complexity. A few small adjustments can make a big difference in creating calm, connection, and joy.

1. Reduce the unexpected.
Use visual calendars to create predictability.

2. Prepare for sensory surprises.
Bring comfort kits and find quiet spaces.

3. Keep communication consistent.
Share your child’s communication tools with relatives.

4. Choose quality over quantity.
Focus on meaningful, low-stress moments.

5. Involve siblings and caregivers.
Set realistic expectations and care for yourself, too.

6. Adapt traditions.
Make the season work for your family — not the other way around.

At Nexus Health Systems, we help families find balance and healing during the holidays and beyond.

Clinical research shows that eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), often administered in combination with cognitive behavioral therapy, can significantly reduce trauma symptoms and externalizing behaviors in adolescents, according to a 2021 meta-analysis.

At Nexus Health Systems, we embed EMDR within our trauma-informed framework for teens navigating both behavioral and medical challenges, supporting deeper healing and sustainable outcomes.
