An acquired brain injury (ABI) can affect much more than physical abilities. It can also influence a child or young person’s emotions, behaviour and mental wellbeing.

After an ABI, some children may experience anxiety, low mood, frustration, reduced confidence or difficulties regulating their emotions. They may also be adjusting to fatigue, changes at school, friendships or feeling different from before their injury.

And the impact doesn’t stop with the child. Parents, carers and siblings can experience their own emotional challenges as the whole family adjusts to life after ABI.

💙 That’s why emotional support matters.

This World Mental Health Day, we’re reminding families that they don’t have to navigate the difficult days alone.

💜 A little creativity, a lot of connection, and some well-deserved time for themselves!

This week, we brought together a wonderful group of parents and carers for a Jewellery Making Workshop at Moore Barlow LLP's London offices. ✨

From beautiful bracelets and necklaces to plenty of laughter and meaningful conversations, the afternoon was all about creativity, friendship and taking time for yourself.

As one parent shared:
💬 “It was so relaxing and therapeutic. It made me feel like I was having time for myself.”

A heartfelt thank you to Evelyn Mourad and Pari Yasini for leading the workshop, Bamyan Jewellery for generously donating the pearls and gemstones, and Fadwa Errhioui and the Moore Barlow team for their wonderful hospitality.

Thank you also to Sharon West from The Silverlining Charity for joining us, and to every parent and carer who made the afternoon so special.

💜 Because sometimes, the most meaningful support comes from simply being together, sharing experiences and knowing you're not alone.

When we think about sight, we often think about our eyes.

But seeing is much more than having healthy eyes. Our brain has an essential role in making sense of everything our eyes take in.

For some children and young people affected by an acquired brain injury (ABI), changes to vision or visual processing can become part of everyday life.

🧠 So, what does sight have to do with acquired brain injury?

When the brain is injured, these processes can sometimes be affected.

A child may experience difficulties such as blurred or double vision, sensitivity to light, problems tracking moving objects or coordinating their eyes. Others may have difficulty processing or interpreting what they can see.

These changes can have a much wider impact than we might initially realise.

📚 Reading and following text across a page may become harder.
🏫 A busy classroom or corridor may feel overwhelming.
⚽ Judging distances or following a moving ball may become difficult.
🚶 Navigating unfamiliar or crowded environments may require much more concentration.
😴 The additional effort involved in processing visual information may also contribute to fatigue.

And because some of these difficulties aren't immediately visible, a child's behaviour can sometimes be misunderstood.

🍎 What should teachers know about childhood acquired brain injury (ABI)?

A child may look like they’re “back to normal” after a brain injury, but the effects of an ABI can be much harder to see.

In the classroom, this might look like forgetting something they understood yesterday, needing longer to process an instruction, becoming overwhelmed by a busy environment, struggling to concentrate, or seeming frustrated or withdrawn.

And sometimes, what looks like a lack of effort or challenging behaviour may actually be a child whose brain is working incredibly hard just to get through the school day. 💜

Understanding ABI can change the way we respond: small adjustments, extra time, opportunities to rest, clear instructions and looking beyond behaviour can make a meaningful difference to a child’s experience of education.

We’re here to help education professionals understand the impact of childhood ABI and feel better equipped to support the children and young people in their care.

💾 Save this carousel for your classroom or staffroom.
🔄 Share it with a teacher, SENCO/ALNCo or education professional who needs to see it.
