This month we are excited to be presenting our ver This month we are excited to be presenting our very first Professional Learning session for the Education Support Staff at Footscray High School. Our aim is to share with these dedicated educators our knowledge of acquired brain injury and its unique impacts on how kids learn and behave in a school setting, and to give them the tools they need to be a Champion – the person that makes a lasting difference to the potential and future of the students they support. . . #ABI #TBI #braininjury #livedexperience #HeadsTogetherforABI #schoolofheadstogether
Hey everyone, want some good movie recommendations Hey everyone, want some good movie recommendations while you're chilling out enjoying some time off. Here are five movies with about life after brain injury, entertaining and informative! Feel free to share some of your faves with us too. Important note: None of these are PG sorry, so grown ups watch these first before you decide what's ok for the kids!! Happy watching. 👍 The Crash Reel - amazing doco about a pro snowboarder, who acquired a brain injury after a nasty boarding accident, and learns to navigate a new path with the support of his incredible family Regarding Henry - An oldie but a goodie with Harrison Ford and Annette Benning about how sometimes the worst thing that happens can change you and your life in the best possible way The Rider - A beautiful movie about cowboys and never giving up on your dreams no matter what the obstacles (definitely not endorsing rodeo riding after brain injury but the message is still great) The Vow - A tear jerker romance with Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams about starting over and rebuilding relationships after brain injury 50 First Dates - A very silly but funny Adam Sandler comedy also about falling in love again when his wife, Drew Barrymore, loses her memory after a brain injury. If you love Adam Sandler's humour watch this for sure, but if he's not your cup of tea skip it, a pretty light hearted depiction of brain injury but also really sweet.

Teamwork makes the dream work!! Heads Together AG Teamwork makes the dream work!! Heads Together AGM got on board the zoom train this week, holding our first online AGM with great representation from our community of families, teens, young adults, volunteers, staff and board. Great to hear from Round Table, our new Advisory Committee, talking about their vision for the future of HT. Also wonderful to acknowledge some of our community with Volunteer Awards. Special mentions to Lara Kerr for the Lifetime Achievement Award for more than 15 years of amazing service to Heads Together, and Kayla Summers, the first recipient of our new Founder Award, for having a profound impact on shaping our organisation over her 11 years of service as a volunteer and staff member. And last but not least to our four Volunteers of the Year - Gen McMahon for her great work in our Parents program, Tarlia Frost for her dedication to making the Teens and Families programs great, and Taylor Jenkin and Mel Tozer for their incredible work on our Young Adult programs over the past year. Heads Together would not exist without all of our extraordinary volunteers, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making everything that we do possible. . . . #ABI #TBI #BrainInjury #HeadsTogetherforABI #LivedExperience #ValuesChampions #Volunteers

Friday International Day of People with a Disabili Friday International Day of People with a Disability - Today we want to focus on ABILITY and building our societies capacity to understand and value differences, and work towards equity - a world where everybody is provided with what they need to reach their potential and live lives that they love. We hope that our Governments' new Disability Strategy 2021-2031 and Employ My Ability - the Disability Employment Strategy will empower people's lived experience and pave the way for positive change. No matter what we remain committed to providing a community of understanding and a platform for people with lived experience of acquired brain injury to find their voice and join together to advocate for equity, opportunity and understanding. . . . #Abi #tbi #AcquiredBrainInjury #Braininjury #LivedExperience #HeadsTogetherforABI
Heads Together is so proud and excited to be part Heads Together is so proud and excited to be part of Partner ABI, a new national network of paediatric rehabilitation clinicians, researchers, community organisations, and experts with lived experience of paediatric acquired brain injury. The group started in January this year and this week met to discuss the big picture vision of this group.
