Preventing Brain Injury – Road Safety

Hi

Thanks for the follow * (+ likes), as the reason I write is to share.
* (Though my family and close friends say it would be far more entertaining with a video-camera # in “real life”, rather than in cyberspace!)

# By the way, do they still make them in today’s ever-faster changing world..or is it all done with mobile phones?

(get with the times now,”luddite”* c – it should be a smart phone)

* or so I was often called by my “my techno-geek” friend, Bill (“the gonk”)

“total non-techno” c (who doesn’t possess a mobile phone, after a rather eventful’ experience some years back, whilst trying to walk, talk and chew gum at the same time)

Who says men can’t multi-task!

Kind regards and all the best with your blog

Best wishes from the First City to see the sun (in summer) …and we’re also the first to see the sunset and the stars (in winter-time)

“I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.”

Due to the fact that everyone is at risk of suffering from brain injury at any point in their lives, it is important to raise awareness and encourage people to take up preventive measures to ensure everyone’s safety. There are things that each of us can implement in our everyday life to protect ourselves and those around us – and the vast majority of these are health and safety regulations we tend to ignore or take for granted. This becomes even more relevant during the winter months, particularly considering that as of this week the Met Office has issues weather alerts affecting the entire country concerning heavy showers, show, ice and fogs early in the morning. Therefore, we have put a comprehensive blog update of things we all can do to prevent the accidents that are most related to brain injuries. Today we will be discussing safety on the roads…

Thirty percent of concussions are suffered by children, but the only international guidelines for recovery currently in existence are for adults.  Professor Nicola Starkey from the School of Psychology at Waikato University talks to Lynn Freeman about her new research into how best children and adolescents can recover from concussion.   Nicola has been awarded $1.1m by the Health Research Council to conduct a study with 600 children and adolescents aged 5-17 years from across the Auckland and Waikato regions.

Lessons From a Former TLC Patient

All the best with your great valuable work at TLC
Kind regards
c
Share, encourage, support, uplift and help spread hope, love and light

The Transitional Learning Center's Blog

Recently, we had a guest speaker in our 4 p.m. Community group.  A former TLC patient  gave a wonderful presentation to our current patients.  The former patient is a stroke survivor who had done well in therapy at TLC and continued to work to improve himself after discharge.  The current TLC patients in attendance warmly received his wise words.  I would like to share a few pieces of advice he gave in hope that they might benefit others.

1.     Work as hard as you can to get better.  It may seem obvious that you need to work hard, but some days are rougher than others.  On those rough days give the best that you can, even if that best doesn’t quite produce the same quality of work produced on your good days.

2.    Take advantage of the therapy you have now.  Once you leave inpatient therapy, your access to trained therapists will significantly decline.  You may…
