Dr Heidi Janssen - Environmental Enrichment

A Neuro Physio Podcast

Heidi is the queen of the concept of environmental enrichment to maximise recovery potential post stroke and other neurological conditions. She shares all about her work in this episode, including her latest venture partnering with end users to develop a community model for environmental enrichment (ESTEEM). We also chat about the Yarning Up After Stroke program she co-leads, designed to help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stroke survivors take control of their stroke recovery.
