When someone has a brain injury, we know that it doesn’t just affect them, but affects you as their family member. More often than not, it can happen that when a family member has a brain injury a lot of extra responsibility can fall on your shoulders. It is possible to become stressed, or even unwell, from the demands on your time, energy and emotions.
Remember to ask yourself, ‘What about me?’ It’s OK to think about yourself and what you need too.
