The aim of the programme is to develop Family Carers’ skills and knowledge of Acquired Brain Injury and enable them to respond more appropriately to their family member’s needs.
The programme modules will help carers to better understand ABI and the effects of brain injury on a person’s emotions, behaviour, communication, attention and memory.
Attendees will also learn how to cope with the emotional and psychological aspects of the role of ‘carer’ and how ABI can affect the family environment. There is no charge for this Training Programme but numbers are restricted and booking is recommended. For more information please log onto our website at www.abiireland.ie
