Brain Injury Awareness Week 19-25 August 2024!
Brain Injury Awareness week is held annually to raise awareness of brain injury and its impact in Australia.
The 2024 Theme is “what’s your connection?” As we know, the brain is made up of many synapses and neuropathways which connect how we think, feel, behave and act, move, smell, see, taste, understand and so much more. When one of these connections experiences an injury, many things can change in a person’s life. As no two brain injuries are the same, it is important to understand the unique impact an injury can have on a person’s life.
