Today’s Summer Entertainment Series is a recomme Today’s Summer Entertainment Series is a recommendation for the younger crowd. Check out the beautiful picture book “The Light Was Always There” by HT community member Felicity Conlan. It’s an inspiring, hopeful look at the pandemic for kids, and it’s getting lovely reviews on Amazon. What are you favourite picture books to share this summer?
Our Summer Entertainment Series recommendation for Our Summer Entertainment Series recommendation for today: Jeremy the Dud. Got 20 mins? Check out this excellent Australian short film set in a world where everyone has a disability, and those who don't are treated with the same prejudice, stigma and condescending attitudes people with disabilities face in our own society. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFcFpWzIQNk
Are you hitting the road over the holidays? How ab Are you hitting the road over the holidays? How about a road-trip movie to get you in the mood?

It’s a quirky take on the role of a carer, starring Craig Roberts, Paul Rudd and Selena Gomez. What’s on your must-watch movie list?
Welcome to the first in Heads Together’s new Sum Welcome to the first in Heads Together’s new Summer Entertainment Series, where the HT community recommends our favourite podcasts, books, websites, TV shows and movies, to fill a few moments of your summer days. The fine print: these are personal recommendations from the HT team and community of things that we love and think you might too. Use your judgement if this content is right for you and your family before you listen/view. First up is Jane, our Community & Parents Program Coordinator, who recommends the podcast ListenABLE. Hosts Dylan Alcott and Angus O’Loughlin ‘speak to people living with disability about their lives and ask them the questions you thought were off-limits'. Find it on all good podcast apps. What podcasts are you listening to at the moment?

In 2021, we’re committing to deliver HT events both face to face and virtually. So, whether you're on a dairy farm in country Victoria or in the middle of Melbourne, whether you can’t wait to leave the house or like your loungeroom best, there’s a place for you in our community in 2021 and beyond.

Help us extend a warm HT welcome to Kristine, our Help us extend a warm HT welcome to Kristine, our new Families Manager, who started this week. (Wait, weren’t we hiring a Families Program Coordinator? Yes, we were, but when Kristine applied, we jumped at the opportunity to bring her skills and experience to the organisation. We'll be on the lookout for a Families Coordinator early next year.) We’re really excited to have Kristine’s expertise in the community sector to help grow our programs. This is also the perfect moment for a very warm thank you to Kayla for all the work she has put into our Families program this year. Kayla – you've taken care of the program with enthusiasm and energy, and really gone the extra mile for our community, at the same time as giving your all to our Young Adults programs. Thankfully, Kayla isn’t going anywhere. With Kristine’s appointment, Kayla will have even more time to dedicate to our Young Adults programs. #headstogetherforabi #leadership #community #braininjury #bestteamever
Last Thursday, HT community members Kate and Haile Last Thursday, HT community members Kate and Hailey were honoured to be part of “Seeing the full picture after brain injury”, a panel discussion organised by the Australasian Society for the Study of Brain Impairment (ASSBI). The webinar, which was aimed at medical and clinical students and professionals, was facilitated by Taylor, a neuropsychology student and HT volunteer. We loved hearing Hailey generously share her incredible breadth of lived experience to bring crucial learning to the next generation of doctors and clinicians. It was also a great opportunity to put our heads together with clinical and research experts, including fellow panelists Prof Tamara Ownsworth, Prof Christine Imms and Dr Kate Gould. #headstogetherforabi #livedexperience #braininjury #community
