Inspired by our eight rehab mantra “Eyes on the goal”, this month we turned our attention to the importance of using goals in rehabilitation.

The Disabilities Trust announces a new strategic direction – to focus exclusively on developing its brain injury focus and expertise.

People often wonder how rehabilitation works, and what it can achieve. A paper recently published on Frontiers Rehabilitation Sciences [1] describes how we do it in The Disabilities Trust.

This month we turn our attention to a recent article written by an international team of researchers, comprising of our own colleagues.

We are pleased to see that non-fatal strangulation has been recognised as a new offence in the government response to the Domestic Abuse Act 2021. However, we feel this guidance could have further committed to a number of measures.

The Research Month initiative intends to encourage people to get involved and to raise awareness of the importance of research in promoting good practice and innovation.

Everyone with a brain injury has the right to rehabilitation tailored to their needs, says Sara Hazzard. She is the Assistant Director of Strategic Communications at the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) and co-chair of the Community Rehabilitation Alliance.

Using different therapies, our teams of specialists help people like Lewis come to terms with what has happened to them and adjust to the life-changing difficulties caused by brain injuries.

As part of the #ThroughOurEyes campaign, Lydia talks about how our support services gave her back her independence.

Every person’s experience of brain injury is different, says Dr Rudi Coetzer, Clinical Director at The Disabilities Trust. Rudi explains why this means we tailor everybody's rehabilitation to meet their needs and help them achieve the best possible outcomes.
