Description

Right now, if you have a brain injury in Ireland you will be rushed to hospital to have your life saved.

After that, it’s luck of the draw... 

Depending on where you live, you could be discharged home without appropriate information or education about the challenges you’ll face and the rehabilitation you’ll need to rebuild your life. 

Or even worse, you may be placed in a nursing home, because there’s no other support in your community.

This is what happened to Priscilla, who joins Andrea to share her story. Catherine Lacey, Head of Service Operations for Acquired Brain Injury Ireland, also joins.
