In case you missed the Parliamentary Debate on 4th December, Sir John Hayes called for a comprehensive Acquired Brain Injury Action Plan. 🌟 He reflected "A brain injury can challenge every aspect of life [...] recovery will often take not just weeks or months" (1/2)

😴 Fatigue after an acquired brain injury isn’t just “tiredness.” It’s a deep exhaustion that can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. Our ABI Coordinators work with families and schools to create tailored rest plans, activity pacing, and tools to manage energy levels. 🧡

On #InternationalVolunteerDay, we celebrate our dedicated Steering Committee and advisory groups of esteemed education professionals and passionate experts by experience. These exceptional colleagues volunteer their time and expertise to further N-ABLES goals!

The #InternationalDayofPersonswithDisabilities emphasises dignity, rights, and well-being for those with disabilities. It calls for action to create an empowering world. 🔗 Learn about our support for young people with #AcquiredBrainInjuries: buff.ly/vmijxBe

"At the time me and my family knew nothing of ABI, so we had to learn very quickly" Eden from our young experts group shared her #livedexperience with Acquired Brain Injury, emphasising the significance of advocating for others, especially those lacking a support network.

"I taught children with ABI and I didn’t know it, so how could I have given them the support they needed" We are incredibly proud of Baroness Estelle Morris and Eden, a member of the N-ABLES Young Experts Group, for delivering a moving presentation at the #UKABIFSummit2025.

"Teachers have the professional skills to support these children, but don’t have the knowledge... there is a lack of consistent training for #ABI" Joanna Woodhouse from N-ABLES shared insights from the Educators' Perspective at the #UKABIFSummit2025 symposium.

On #AntiBullyingWeek, it's vital to highlight the importance of creating nurturing, respectful environments, particularly in schools. If you have a student with an #AcquiredBrainInjury (ABI), understanding and empathy are crucial! 🔗 More information:
