They may experience changes to their behaviour and personality, physical and sensory abilities, or thinking and learning.
It affects every single member and almost every part of family life.The trauma of hospital, stresses of returning home, and the day-to-day strains of managing the household and finances can all place an enormous burden .
Families may have to adjust to enormous changes in circumstances over a very short space of time.
Families’ needs may change at different stages of the ‘journey’ of ABI.They may experience one set of feelings at the hospital, and another set entirely when their loved ones returns home.
