Sharing stories at Brain Injury Matters
We shared some emotional stories with Brain Injury Matters in Footscray. Our member, Jai (centre), talked about his journey of recovery from Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) addiction, his acquired brain injury and how he has turned his life around. Jai is now the proud father of two kids and is passionate about his family and his work as a self-advocate.
It was important to us to connect with Brain Injury Matters (BIM). Like Jai, the members of BIM also have acquired brain injuries. We hope to find new members for Voices for Change from BIM and other groups. We want to keep talking about ABI, justice system experience and stories of recovery. We want to reduce the stigma around these experiences.
Thank-you to Erin + Kathy + Eve + Paul + Poppy and Peter for welcoming us to your group. We hope to keep working together.
