You Help Change the Future of Concussion Treatment

Thanks to your support, adults living with the effects of a Concussion are helped by innovative services not available anywhere else in our area; services that are gaining recognition as a model program.

According to the World Health Organization and the Center for Disease Control, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability around the world. Concussion, also known as Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI), is considered an epidemic in the United States.

image of glowing blue brain on black backgroundIt was once believed that people who sustained a Concussion would typically recover fully in a few months. Research now shows over 50% of people who sustain even just one Concussion may experience significant long-term effects for a year or longer.

Globally, health practitioners, who themselves may have limited familiarity with these conditions, are often faced with a lack of resources to aid clients in their recovery.


A Concussion is a significant medical problem that can result in lasting effects that are not at all ‘mild.’ It’s important to have a place like Schurig Center that offers continued education and support at affordable rates to help those who are experiencing longer-term side effects of a Concussion. – Dr. James Wilson, PhD

33% of Schurig Center’s clients are adults with post-concussive syndrome.

With the expert guidance of neuropsychologist and concussion specialist Dr. James Wilson, Schurig Center has designed and implemented specialized services to meet the unique needs of these people.

Schurig’s Post-Concussion Education and Support Group, facilitated by Dr. Wilson, fills gaps in care by providing accurate information about Concussion and directing clients to suitable sources of care. The group also addresses the altered sense of self, a psychological reaction that is common among Concussion survivors.

We are pleased to share that the group’s outcomes show significant improvement in clients’ ability to cope with the long-term cognitive, behavioral, and psychological effects that often impact their work, family, and personal lives.

In recognition of the group’s innovation and positive outcomes, Dr. Wilson was invited to share the findings as a keynote speaker at the 4th International Conference on Clinical and Counseling Psychology this past August in Tokyo. Locally, he also spoke at MarinHealth Medical Center’s Trauma Symposium in October.

YouTube video

Schurig Center is thrilled to share that our volunteer Board Chair Kimberly Strub is one of five winners chosen for the National Association of Realtors® Good Neighbor Award for her tireless work helping make life better for people with brain injuries.

The Good Neighbor Award recognizes REALTORS® who make extraordinary commitments to improving the quality of life in their communities. The awards have been granted annually since 2000.

Over a decade of service as Schurig Center’s Board chair, Kim has raised $1,000,000, tripled both the organization’s reach and annual budget, and helped establish a concussion protocol for children in the Marin County school district.

Strub and the other four Good Neighbor Award winners will be featured in the November-December issue of Realtor® Magazine. The recipients will also be presented with trophies on Saturday, November 9 at the 2019 Realtors® Conference & Expo in San Francisco.

In addition, Schurig Center is deeply honored to receive a $20,000 grant from the Wells Fargo Foundation in honor of Kim’s excellence in community service. Wells Fargo’s generosity will go far in improving lives and we are deeply grateful.
