Brain injury is a 'hidden' disability and there's a lot of misunderstanding about its nature & consequences.
Promoting awareness and understanding
We look to promote awareness and understanding about brain injury in the community by:
- Making presentations to a range of family or community groups.
- Contributing to working parties and focus groups with research and government agencies.
- Supporting university and community expos such as the University of Auckland 'Brain Day' usually held during International Brain Week (usually in March each year).
- Hats For Headway awareness activity held each May to help build awareness and promote understanding of brain injuries in the wider community.
