Rebuild
Rebuild at Inova Fairfax Hospital and Inova Fairfax Hospital for Children focuses on the concerns and needs of recovering trauma patients and their caregivers.
Learn more
Five different FREE Rebuild support groups offer:
- Support for patients recovering from general trauma, spinal cord injury or traumatic brain injury.
- Patient-focused training for healthcare professionals to reinforce their vital role in the healing process.
One key to the success of Rebuild’s program is ongoing dialogue between healthcare professionals and the patients themselves. Trauma survivors share their experiences with clinicians to enhance understanding of the trauma experience and the patients’ emotional needs. Lively dialogue provides both professional and survivor with an opportunity to learn from each other.
For more information about Rebuild, click here to learn more or call Daniel Stanto, LCSW, Program Coordinator, at 703-776-6045.
