Manage episode 434552512 series 3593443
Becoming independent is one of the most important things brain injury survivors strive for - but how can independence be achieved?
In this special episode, Elizabeth and Julia go on the road to a Brain Injury Conference and speak to some of the speakers and those in attendance about how they are helping support brain injury survivors and some of the key issues.
Hosted by Irwin Mitchell, a law firm which specialises in brain injury claims, the theme of the conference was independence, on Independence Day (and also polling day in the UK).
The event bought together experts and those with lived experience of brain injury to discuss the elements of rehab and post brain injury support that have helped survivors regain their independence.
Some of the issues discussed include:
- How important family support is in helping brain injury survivors to recover
- What charities are doing to help ABI survivors and their families
- Why sexual relationships need to be talked about after brain injury
- Key health issues which the new government could address
- Why tapping into an individual's interests can boost recovery
- How you can get help after a brain injury when on holiday or working abroad
Some of the episodes discussed in this one include, Living With Locked In Syndrome and Claiming Compensation After Brain Injury.
