Action on Brain Injury Week - 'A Life of Lockdown?'

A life of lockdown? focuses on social isolation after brain injury, a problem we know has been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. 

The campaign aims to give a voice to people with brain injuries 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.

Get involved: We need YOU!

You can get involved with our campaign by sharing our infographics, images, videos and your own experiences on social media. Use the hashtags #ALifeOfLockdown #ABIWeek to join the conversation. The more people share, the more we'll increase understanding of social isolation after brain injury!
