This week is action for brain injury (ABI) week. The campaign by Headway aims to give a voice to survivors and carers to help them better explain to their friends and families the challenges they face as a result of brain injury. As well as having an awareness-raising focus, it will also have positive messages and tools to help people make a difference, such as guides and top tips for friends of brain injury survivors and carers.

During this podcast Max shares with Chris his personal experience being a survivor of brain injury:
