Ballarat Grammar, in partnership with the AFL and Ballarat Grammar, in partnership with the AFL and Optimal Health, invited Heads Together to be part of a great education event last night called ConcussionAWARE. The event was aimed at families, sports clubs and schools, to bring much needed awareness to the growing concerns around concussion in kids and adolescents, both on and off the field. As always, prevention is the key, and they outlined some great information about how to detect and manage concussion, including a new app called Head Check that has been developed by the AFL in partnership with Murdoch Children's Research Institute. It was great to meet some new people who are driving awareness of brain injury in young people and they generously nominated Heads Together as the recipient organisation for donations on the night. Thanks to all involved. . . . #ABI #TBI #HeadsTogether #headstogetherforabi #ConcussionAWARE #braininjury

Heads Together could not exist without the generou Heads Together could not exist without the generous support of our funding partners, which is why we always try to support them. The Alice Sloan Trust has been an incredibly generous supporter of the Heads Together Family programs since 2012, giving not only financial support but also the time, energy and passion of their many wonderful family members. They are running a very special fundraising campaign in the first week of June to raise funds for all the charities that they support. We would love to invite anyone and everyone to get on board their Walks of Life campaign and support this incredible family, and in turn support Heads Together as one of their fortunate recipients.

Creating safe and positive online spaces for teens Creating safe and positive online spaces for teens has never been more important, most of us live part of our lives online now whether its work, play or friends, and we all have to adapt to that reality. 2020 gave Heads Together the opportunity to bring our Teens program online and the response was amazing, with our teen community growing exponentially. We're really proud to be building our online safety knowledge and skills by partnering with The Cyber Safety Project and the wonderful Trent Ray who has been connecting with our teen community to talk about safety and how to create really fun and positive online spaces where teens can hang out and connect. . . . #abi #tbi #acquiredbraininjury #braininjury #headstogether #headstogetherforABI

So great to be getting the ball rolling on face to So great to be getting the ball rolling on face to face events for young adults at Heads Together. We've had two successful months of meeting up and connecting with old friends and new. Social isolation has always been a key concern for the young people in our community, especially since COVID came along which is why we're so committed to providing lots of opportunities for people to connect, have fun and be part of a peer community who understand. . . . #abi #tbi #braininjury #acquiredbraininjury #livedexperience #headstogether #headstogetherforabi
The newly revised Disability Standards of Educatio The newly revised Disability Standards of Education have been released and we are happy to see some positive changes around accountability and developing national principles on reporting how students with disabilities participate in their education. Something that we want to do, as a community, is to gather the positive education stories and share them with the Department so they can use them as a model for improving the system. So to all those amazing parents and young people who shared their voices on this subject well done and lets keep pushing for our young people to get the education they deserve! We will keep striving for clearer information, especially around the Dept of Ed handling issues and complaints, and will continue to share our learning with our community. Together we can make a positive difference. Nothing is more important to us than the futures of our young people who continue to power our community with the knowledge they need to advocate for their kids. https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/review?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:1cf6ce58-10e3-4975-9036-bc492c65eb9b . . . #abi #tbi #braininjury #headstogetherforabi #headstogether
