Your participation would be really appreciated!

Accurate data is so badly needed to ensure adequate service provision for people with acquired brain injuries AND their families and carers.
The bridging document had better be good given it’s taken 28 months to get to this point!
Thanks for the continued pressure Chris Bryant

In my opinion as a young individual who lives with ABI since 16 years now.More help should be out there for us.ABI is a long term-life long condition which effects the Brain and the body.And we deserve more long term help/support than whats offered.Headway - the brain injury association The Brain Charity🧠👣

Fatigue is a common symptom experienced by brain injury survivors. The impact of fatigue on daily routines can be significant, affecting cognitive functioning, mood and overall quality of life.

Tell us how fatigue impacted you and share a few tips with our community.

#Fatigue

Neurofatigue is a concept that many survivors struggle to describe.

In this Weird Wonderful Brain blog, a survivor presents a description that you may relate to and proposes fatigue management strategies to explore: loom.ly/-O8G_8A

This is very sad…

Congratulations!!!❤️

Greg James As a researcher working with children who have prosthetic (NOT glass) eyes due to having cancer, we know that they already experience increased bullying, lower self esteem, and identity related distress. Such public comments like this are only going to worsen this. Do better.

It concerns me not one person thought “this isn’t right” There’s incredible disabled people working in media & publishing who can happily advise and your team should always be diverse so that’s the case

We’re not “over sensitive”, we’re real people who face discrimination daily.

Well Done Nicola O'Donnell 💙 #ProstheticEyeWearer
