Join the Money Guiders NI Network & Brain Injury Matters for a workshop on how they support clients, make referrals & explore money matters

About this event and organisation

Brain Injury Matters (NI) – Information on Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), impact and supports for ABI in Northern Ireland.

Over 75% of people with an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) experience daily challenges as a result of their disability being “hidden” (Headway, 2022). Brain Injury Matters is a Northern Ireland-based charity whose mission is to make sure support is visible and in reach, for people with ABI and their families. Brain Injury Matters provide a range of services for adults, children and their families, including therapeutic intervention, counselling, arts, sports and advocacy.
