The conference was well attended, and enjoyed by all. It also provided an opportunity for very useful networking.
It looked at homelessness, the impact of behavioural/mental health difficulties on rehabilitation, an MDT’s experience of working with CCD and disinhibited behaviours and ended with a survivor’s personal account of his experience after brain injury and overcoming the barriers that he encountered.
