β€œI just told you that!” Words like these can unintentionally hurt a child with ABI. Memory loss is a common, but hidden, effect of acquired brain injury. We help families + schools understand how memory challenges show up and provide strategies to support children with compassion and patience.

For many children affected by acquired brain injury, the smallest friendships can have the biggest impact. This International Day of Friendship, we’re celebrating those bonds.

To every friend, sibling, teacher, and CBIT Coordinator who makes a child feel accepted just as they are: thank you. πŸ’›

Every child’s journey with acquired brain injury is different; some may face challenges with memory, learning, or behaviour, while others might experience physical or emotional changes.
Together, we can navigate this journey, one step at a time. Because every child deserves the chance to thrive.

This National Schizophrenia Awareness Day, we stand with everyone facing invisible + stigmatised conditions. We honour the reality that for some ABI survivors, mental health challenges can become part of life after injury. Let’s build a world where no child is ever defined by a diagnosis.

😴 Fatigue after an acquired brain injury isn’t just β€œtiredness.” It’s a deep exhaustion that can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming.

Our ABI Coordinators work with families and schools to create tailored rest plans, activity pacing, and tools to manage energy levels. 🧑

β€œYou look fine” is something children with ABI hear far too often.
Hidden disabilities are still disabilities, and they deserve understanding, patience and support. We empower families to advocate for what their child needs. Because invisible doesn’t mean imaginary. πŸ’œ
