Living with Brain Injury Booklets

Publications

The living with brain injury suite

The living with brain injury suite is written to give you relevant information that you may need on your journey.  It is divided into sections and each section has a number of booklets.  There is no need to read each booklet section.  There is an easy index that you can check to get you to the section/booklet that you are interested in.  The sections covered are 

  • Early Recovery (including returning home, fatigue and general information about the brain and brain injury)
  • Coping with changes (including memory, attention, planning and organising,)
  • Dealing with feelings (anxiety, anger, relationships and intimacy)
  • Moving On (driving, returning to work or study)

Each booklet has an Introduction, an explanation of the changes that may have occurred because of the injury, some tips to help manage the changes and contact details for organisations that may be able to help.

There is also a section called My Organiser which has a Diary, My Contact Sections, My Details and Planning Worksheets.

Each section is colour coded to make finding the information you need easier. These booklets were written in collaboration with our clients and other professionals.
