Brain injury can be either an acquired brain injury (ABI) or traumatic brain injury (TBI). ABIs are caused by a medical condition such as a stroke or brain tumour, while a TBI is the result of physical trauma, such as an injury.
The complex nature of the brain means that people who with an ABI or TBI can experience a wide range of physical, mental and emotional symptoms, which can create challenges for themselves and the people closest to them.
