Acquired Brain Injury Ireland

16 hours ago

“If life deals you a brain injury, the odds are stacked against you, because the whole area is under-serviced. I’d like to think that I matter and that the life I’ve lived since my brain injury, matters. I’d like to think that those living with brain injuries today, matter. My only conclusion is that, surely #rehabilitation matters too. I wouldn’t be who I am today, if I hadn’t got the support I did from Acquired Brain Injury Ireland and I’m so thankful to have found a community of people who understand my story and fight for other people like me.”
Niamh was a teenager when she suffered a #brain injury from a rare viral infection Encephalitis which causes inflammation of the brain. Every year, 19,000 people in Ireland acquire brain injuries from stroke, road traffic accidents, falls, tumours and assaults. We are calling on election candidates to prioritise investment in community neuro-rehabilitaiton in #GE2020. Everyone deserves the #righttorehab. #Disabilityvotescount
