Meet Marrianne, our newest Case Manager 👋

With a background in social work, Marrianne brings a person-centred and holistic approach to supporting people living with brain injury and their families.

Social work plays an important role in case management - helping individuals navigate services, advocate for their needs, build connections within the community, and work towards goals that are meaningful to them. Through compassion, collaboration, and practical support, social work helps empower people to live well after brain injury.

We’re excited to have her knowledge, experience, and passion as part of our team and look forward to the positive impact she will make within our community.

Please join us welcoming Marrianne 👏

💙 June is Men's Mental Health Month 💙

Living with brain injury can impact more than just physical and cognitive wellbeing. It can also affect confidence, relationships, independence, and emotional health.

This Men's Mental Health Month, we're encouraging men living with brain injury, as well as their families, friends, and support networks, to check in with one another and start meaningful conversations.

Sometimes a simple "Are you OK?" can be the first step towards getting support.

For practical tips on how to start a conversation and support someone who may be struggling, explore the resources available from R U OK? → https://ow.ly/N9EB50ZajtT

❄️ Keeping Warm this Winter ❄️

As the weather gets colder, it's important to take extra care of yourself and those around you.
For people living with brain injury, colder temperatures can sometimes impact fatigue, mobility, muscle stiffness, circulation, and overall comfort. Staying warm can help you stay active, comfortable, and connected during the winter months.

Here are some simple ways to keep warm this season:
🧣 Dress in layers
☕ Enjoy warm drinks and meals
🏠 Keep the cold out by closing curtains, reducing drafts, and creating a cosy indoor space
🔥 Use warming aids such as hand warmers, wheat bags, heated blankets, or heat packs
🚶 Stay active with gentle movement and exercise
🤝 Stay connected with family, friends, and your support network

Winter is a good reminder to check in with yourself. Stay warm, rest when you need to, and be gentle with yourself throughout the colder months 💛

🧠 June 8 is World Brain Tumour Day 🧠

World Brain Tumour Day is a global awareness day dedicated to increasing understanding of brain tumours and the impact they have on individuals, families, and communities.
A brain tumour can affect a person’s physical, cognitive, emotional, and social wellbeing.

Depending on the location and progression of the tumour, and the effects of treatment, some people may also experience an acquired brain injury and require ongoing rehabilitation and support.

On this day, we acknowledge the strength and resilience of people living with a brain tumour, survivors, their families and carers, and the health professionals who support them throughout diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.

🎗️ Raising awareness helps promote earlier recognition, better understanding of long-term impacts, and improved support for people to live well in their communities.
