Synapse Carers

Facebook support groups can be a powerful way to feel both a sense of community and of being understood, from the comfort of your own home.

Our Synapse Reconnections – Carers Facebook group is moderated by Synapse staff with either lived experience or a wealth of knowledge about brain injury. There are regular Facebook live interviews on managing in the caring role, as well as online meetings. To protect your privacy, this is a closed Facebook group – which means that only members of the group can see what you have posted.

The Synapse team facilitates regular in-person information sessions which are live-streamed and posted online to allow anyone across Australia to watch from home. Sessions are delivered by researchers, allied health professionals and people with lieved experience of the caring role.

The sessions give you the opportunity to share your experiences, learn from other carers and build supportive relationships. You can also connect with members of the Synapse team and presenters during the sessions to gain additional support and advice.
