ABI Week 2025
This year’s campaign takes place between the 19th – 25th May and is called On a good day.
On a good day will tell of the fluctuating and unpredictable nature of brain injury, highlighting the gap between capabilities on a good day versus a bad day.
Fatigue, headaches, mood changes, capacity and cognition problems have a huge impact on a survivor’s day-to-day activities, their ability to work and their relationships with friends, family and others.
Colin Morris, Director of Communications at Headway, said:
“On a good day will get people thinking about brain injury. However, more importantly, we hope people will change their opinions, attitudes and behaviours towards those who might be having an all-too-common bad day.
“We will tell the stories of brain injury survivors through their own words, both good and bad days. We’ll capture the thoughts of survivors and carers through our surveys, hearing what it’s like to navigate life after brain injury.”
“We’re excited to involve as many people as possible in this year’s campaign – to explore all the ways a brain injury can change lives of all those affected and to see both sides of brain injury.”
