Episode 8: Hidden Injury - “I thought you were drunk!”

People living with hidden injuries and disabilities often face barriers or judgement in their day-to-day lives. So how do you raise awareness and tell people about a condition that can’t be seen?

In this episode, Paul interviews fellow brain injury survivors, Rob and Jules, who describe the challenges they face within the community, and together, with Paul, explain how beneficial it is to come together to share experiences and offer each other support at centres such as Brains Matter.

Paul also talks to the staff at the brain injury charity, Brains Matter, who explain how valuable the internationally recognised sunflower lanyards are for those with hidden disabilities in navigating and finding help and understanding in public places.
