2024 August 19
Brain Injury Awareness Week is an important annual event dedicated to raising awareness about the impact of brain injury on individuals, families, and communities. Held from 19-25 August 2024, this year’s theme is focused on connecting with those affected by brain injury.
Did you know that 1 in 45 Australians live with a brain injury? That’s a staggering statistic that highlights the prevalence of this often invisible injury. Brain injuries can result from a variety of causes, including accidents, falls, sports injuries, and even strokes. The effects can be wide-ranging, affecting physical, cognitive, emotional, and social functioning.
Learn about brain injury: Understand the signs and symptoms.
Support loved ones: Offer patience, understanding, and practical help.
Promote safety: Encourage helmet use, safe driving, and fall prevention.
Donate or volunteer: Support organisations working to improve the lives of people with brain injuries.
By increasing awareness and understanding, we can create a more supportive environment for those affected by brain injury. Let’s work together to build a stronger community for everyone.
