If you or someone you love has suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury, finding the support you need is important. Here we provide help to patients and families going through a TBI.

For families and carers

Anyone can become a carer for a person who has experienced a TBI. Becoming a carer can be a difficult change, with the dynamic between you and the person being cared for potentially changing quite substantially.

Talking to children about TBI

If a loved one or immediate family member has suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), talking to your child about what has happened is an important, albeit possibly difficult step as you deal with the injury and any on-going symptoms.
