Feeling disconnected after a brain injury? You’re not alone.
Navigating relationships and social connections post-injury can be challenging. Changes in energy, confidence, and social dynamics are common, but reconnecting is a vital part of the healing journey.
Join Elizabeth Ambrose, a dedicated Synapse Ambassador and Public Health Researcher, for an insightful and compassionate session.
Drawing from research, personal experiences, and stories from individuals with lived experience, Elizabeth will explore:
-
Understanding isolation: Why it’s prevalent after brain injury and its impact on recovery and well-being.
-
Redefining connection: Exploring various forms of social engagement – from close friendships to community involvement.
-
Starting small: Tips for rebuilding confidence and social ties at your own pace.
-
The power of visibility: How community and shared experiences contribute to broader societal change.
This session is designed for:
- People living with brain injury at any stage of recovery
- Families, carers and friends who want to better understand the social impact of injury
- Peer workers, support facilitators and professionals supporting recovery and reintegration
Take a step towards reconnection. Whether you’re beginning your journey or looking to strengthen existing bonds, this free online session offers guidance and support to help strengthen connections.
