Amber Halliday and Brent Reilly, The long road back
Brain Injury SA is presenting a compelling line-up of experts who will share their knowledge and experiences of acquired brain injury (ABI) in the 2016 Assuming Control program.
This year’s program focuses on exciting advancements in treatment and rehabilitation methods that can help the brain to heal following injury. We’ll also hear inspiring stories from people living with ABI.
This is an outstanding learning and networking opportunity for people with ABI and their families, those working in the disability and medical sectors, students and the wider community.

The long road back
Amber Halliday had made a successful switch from professional rowing to cycling when she sustained a severe brain injury in a road race, and Brent Reilly’s AFL career with the Crows was ended by a serious head knock at training. This presentation is about how Amber and Brent have adjusted to life after ABI, with its many changes and challenges, and forged new directions. Their stories will inspire you.
