Acquired Brain Injury

Waking Up

A brain injury can often be followed by a period of time of unconsciousness. It can often be several months before the full extent of the injury is known. The brain has a tremendous capacity for healing, and vast improvements can be made in the days, months and years that follow.

This 'Speaking From Experience' video clip features 10 people living with the affects of an acquired brain injury. They discuss the impact the ABI has had on their lives.
