Adelaide Chapter

The Adelaide team hosted a conversational panel event, "Addressing the challenges of brain impairment for higher education: unlocking your potential". The event consisted of five panellists across various disciplines and backgrounds who spoke about their work and how it relates to acquired brain injury and helping students unlock their potential, covering topics such as the barriers of students with ABI and the supports currently offered and what's to come in the future with the help of research. The panellists also provided advice for students who wish to work in the field of brain impairment more broadly. The speakers on the panel derived from disciplines such as occupational therapy, physiotherapy, developmental education, brain injury advocates and research, and our own student ambassador who has a lived experience of brain injury. The event was a success; those who attended found it valuable and insightful. It is excellent that ASSBI has allowed us to provide a platform for a topic that often goes unnoticed and inspire students to see the multidisciplinary and multifaceted approach to addressing ABI.

Sydney Chapter

ASSBI’s Sydney Chapter in collaboration with the University of Sydney Psychology Society hosted an Art & Student Social Networking Event. Students came together to explore art that fostered compassion and understanding of brain injury.  Beyond the artistic expression, the event was a vibrant canvas for networking and connection over light refreshments. As we admire the amazing art that was created, we’re filled with gratitude for the positive energy, enthusiasm, and creativity that everyone contributed to this event. Congratulations to Tanisha and Vivian who won the People’s Choice awards! Thank you to all who joined us in raising awareness and creating connections.
