Child Brain Injury Trust - Support and advice

Every 30 minutes, a child or young person will acquire a brain injury. This could be the result of -

• an accident
• an illness such as meningitis or encephalitis
• a poisoning
• a stroke
• a brain tumour

A brain injury has a devastating and life-long impact on the child and their whole family. Bones can mend and scars can heal, but a brain injury stays with you for life and impacts on everything you think, feel, and do.

The Child Brain Injury Trust is the charity that supports children, young people, their families, and professionals, and helps them come to terms with what has happened and how to deal with the uncertainty that the future may hold.
