The processes of social connectedness for the family of people with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)
After hospital many people with ABI need their family members to care for them. There are studies which show family members can be isolated after ABI. Social connection is important for wellbeing, giving a sense of belonging.
Often science has focused on problems, such as mental ill health. People who go through difficult situations, such as a relative having an ABI have been found to adapt. We want to look at how family members adapt socially after a family members ABI.
We would like to hear from family members of someone with an ABI. Family members are anyone who considers themselves so, including close friends.
We want to understand how family members family members adapt socially after a family members ABI.
