🎒 Returning to school after the summer holidays can bring mixed emotions.

For a child or young person with an acquired brain injury, earlier mornings, busy classrooms, changing routines and increased demands can quickly lead to fatigue or overwhelm.

Our latest blog shares practical ways families and schools can make the transition gentler: from recognising early signs of overload to managing energy, creating predictable routines and protecting recovery time after school.

If the first few days feel difficult, it does not mean your child has gone backwards. They may simply need time, understanding and the right support.

A lovely day of fresh air, creativity and connection at Yorkshire Sculpture Park 💜

A huge thank you to all the families who joined us for our CBIT community picnic. Days like this are about so much more than simply getting together. They give families the chance to meet others who understand, share experiences, enjoy time together and make memories away from appointments, meetings and everyday pressures.

Our local ABI Coordinators, Emma and Amanda, agree that there was something really special about seeing families chatting, exploring and simply enjoying the day together. Community events like this remind us just how important connection can be. Creating spaces where families feel understood, supported and part of something is at the heart of what we do at Child Brain Injury Trust.

Alongside the practical information and individual support we provide, we want families affected by childhood acquired brain injury to know that they are part of a community that is here for them throughout their journey.

Thank you to everyone who came along and made the day what it was. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. 💜

📚 Free training for professionals: Understanding Childhood Acquired Brain Injury

Do you work with children or young people? Join us online on Tuesday 29 September, from 9.15am–4pm, for our free, accredited Understanding Childhood Acquired Brain Injury workshop.

This practical, jargon-free session will explore:

🧠 What an acquired brain injury is
💜 The difficulties children and young people may experience
🏠 The wider impact on families and households
🛠️ Strategies to provide meaningful support
📖 Practical resources and in-depth handouts

The workshop is suitable for teachers, SENCOs, support staff, early years practitioners, healthcare professionals, therapists, social workers, youth workers, case managers, legal professionals and anyone working with children and young people.

We’re incredibly grateful to The Eden Dora Trust for Children with Encephalitis, whose generous funding allows us to offer this workshop completely free of charge.

The Eden Dora Trust supports children and families affected by encephalitis and subsequent childhood acquired brain injury through information, education, research and direct family support. By funding training for families and professionals, they are helping more people understand childhood brain injury and ensuring children receive better-informed support at home, in education and throughout their recovery.

If only there were a box you could open after your child has acquired a brain injury, containing everything you were going to need.

💙 An explanation of what has happened.
💙 Answers to the questions that come at 2am.
💙 Someone to help school understand.
💙 Practical ideas for the difficult days.
💙 Someone who knows which service to contact next.

And reassurance that when a new challenge appears six months, or several years, later, you haven't suddenly been left to figure it out by yourself.

Sadly, childhood acquired brain injury doesn't come with an instruction manual.
But families can have someone alongside them. ⭐

Our ABI Coordinators provide specialist support and information to children, young people and their families. They can help families understand the effects of ABI, explore practical strategies, communicate with education settings and professionals, navigate other services and think through the challenges that can arise as a child develops.

Sometimes support is about finding an answer. Sometimes it's about helping someone else understand. And sometimes it's simply having a conversation with a person who gets why this is hard.

There may not be a box containing everything a family needs. But there can be understanding, practical support and someone by your side.

What a wonderful day at London Zoo! 🐒🦒🐘

With sunshine overhead, our families enjoyed exploring the zoo, spending time together and connecting over lunch. Days like these offer more than a fun day out: they give families affected by childhood acquired brain injury the chance to relax, socialise and make special memories together.

A huge thank you to our Legal Support Services Partners, Bolt Burdon Kemp, Moore Barlow LLP and Hodge Jones & Allen, whose generous funding made the event possible.

We’re also incredibly grateful to Cheryl Abrahams from Bolt Burdon Kemp and Michelle Walsall from Moore Barlow for volunteering and supporting families throughout the day.

A special shout-out to Manha, who proudly wore her Child Brain Injury Trust T-shirt and welcomed the children with stickers, and to Hussna and her son Zakariya for bringing delicious doughnuts for everyone to enjoy! 🍩💚

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day so memorable.
