HEAT 🥵 It may be almost Autumn but as is often the case in South Australia, we're blessed with an endless summer so there will likely still be hot days to come.
At the end of a hot day a shower or bath can be a great way to remain cool overnight too. With ABI sleep can be challenging and insomnia is experienced by many, so every little thing we can do to help our body rest is a good thing!
What's your sleep ritual to help on hot days? 😴 #braininjuryawareness
FRINGE FESTIVAL It's that time of year again! If you're planning to head along to Fringe from this week, check out their handy accessibility guide to help plan your visit.
Access and Inclusion Coordinator, Kelly Vincent, says “...my goal is to help build a festival that people, no matter what their needs are, can enjoy without going through the exhausting, soul-sucking process of having to think too much about logistics”. 🙌🏼🙏🏻💜

At Brain Injury SA our purpose is to help people embrace life after ABI.
Since 1991 we have provided a growing range of services and programs that respond to the needs of those affected by an ABI in South Australia. From advocacy to NDIS support; from a range of programs tailored to support people with connection, coping with daily challenges and being involved in their community to working with the latest cutting edge neuroscience in our REWIRE program and activating community based REWIRE hubs in Noarlunga and Elizabeth, our goal is to ensure that having an ABI will never be a barrier. #braininjurysa

🎧 🎼 Listening to music is so good for us because it is one of the few activities that stimulates our whole brain. It has been proven to reduce stress, depression and increase levels of our happy hormone, oxytocin, plus much more!
So pop on the tunes and let us know what you listen to!? 🎶🧠 #braininjurysa #braininjuryawareness

Mostly classical. Beethoven, Mozart, Dvorak, Albinoni, Elgar, lots of medieval and Renaissance church choral and secular dance music, Bach, Mendelssohn, Corelli, Lalo and many, many others. Brings me peace.
Have you visited one of our new REWIRE Hubs?
Until recently our REWIRE program was based solely out of our city therapy centre in Light Square. In 2019 we were thrilled to open two new sites, enabling people in the Northern and Southern suburbs to embrace life after brain injury by removing the need to travel into the city to access life-changing, holistic therapy.
Located at Noarlunga Centre and 57 Elizabeth Way, Elizabeth our REWIRE Hubs offer tailored therapy delivered by a range of health professionals including speech pathologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists and others working collaboratively with the goal of helping participants achieve their work and life goals and integrate family engagement and support 🧠💜 .
If you or someone you know can benefit from access to these hubs please don't hesitate to touch base with us at 08 8217 7600 or 1300 733 049 for country callers.
