Episode 7: Family & Friends - Don’t face it alone

A brain injury will impact everyone around the person with the brain injury. It’s an incredible adjustment having to learn to live with what seems like a different person and this can come with confusion and frustrations for all parties.
 
Brain injury charities play an important role in supporting not only the person with the brain injury, but their family and friends too.
 
In this episode, Paul interviews the team who run the charity Brains Matter in Kent in the South East of England. Staff members Kevin, Lisa-Rae and Cheryl describe the safe space they provide at their centre and coffee drop-in sessions where family and friends can speak freely, without judgement, to receive valuable support and advice, not only from the specialist staff but from other families who share the same experiences.
