Brain injury is often referred to as the “invisible” disability. This year’s Brain Injury Awareness Week looks out for Australians who are not only invisible but out of sight, out of mind.
This year’s Brain Injury Awareness Week will be held from 15-21 August and the theme is devoted to people with a brain injury in the criminal justice system. Click here to read more.
Open Minds is participating in the Week in many ways, such as hosting a Jamminn’ for OM client participation event on Sunday 21 August and as a partner for the Bang On A Beanie Campaign (led by Synapse) to be officially launched on Thursday 11 August at Brisbane Powerhouse, New Farm.
To find out more on the events happening in your area, phone Toni Brearley on (07) 3896 4206 or Thea Isles on (07) 3896 4236.
What is ABI?? Read more here
The BANGONABEANIE Campaign will strive to encourage people to buy a blue branded beanie to support Brain Injury Awareness Week. By doing so, they will actively show support for anyone they know – loved ones, friends and colleagues – who are living with ABI. The profits from this unique new campaign will go toward improving essential services for people living with ABI, including support during the most crucial stage of recovery, the post-injury period.
BANGONABEANIE will be fun and, more importantly, informative and we formally invite you to join with us in this exciting new program.
Buy your beanie or t-shirt from any Open Minds office, or to sell them in your workplace please phone (07) 3896 4206.
