Understanding behaviour can make a huge difference for brain injury survivors.

We’re running our next Behaviours that Challenge training session on 17 June via Zoom, designed to help professionals better understand and respond to behaviours that may be difficult to manage in practice.

Ideal for those working directly with brain injury survivors, this session explores the reasons behind behaviours that challenge, including the cognitive, emotional and environmental factors that can influence them.
