☀️ Staying Cool and Managing Fatigue this Summer

Hot weather can be especially challenging for people living with a brain injury. Changes in how the body regulates temperature and energy can mean heat and fatigue build up more quickly — but a few simple strategies can help you stay comfortable and conserve energy over summer.

Tips for staying cool
💧 Hydrate often – Sip water regularly throughout the day. Electrolyte drinks like Hydralyte may also help with rehydration.
👒 Limit sun exposure – Seek shade where possible and wear a wide-brimmed hat when outdoors.
🪭 Use cooling supports – Fans, cool packs or a cold compress can help lower body temperature.
👕 Dress for the heat – Choose light, breathable fabrics like linen to help your body stay cool.

Tips for managing fatigue
⏳ Pace yourself – Break activities into smaller steps and build in regular rest breaks.
🛏️ Listen to your body – Early signs of fatigue are your cue to slow down or rest.
🧊 Create a cool rest space – A fan, blackout curtains or a cool compress can help you recharge.

💛 Remember, recovery from heat-related fatigue can take a few days — even after temperatures drop. Be kind to yourself and take it easy.

Services + Support for people with ABI in South Australia

Brain Injury SA is now recognised and funded as the peak body in South Australia for people with an acquired brain injury (ABI), and those who care for them. It is a member-based organisation, which engages with people with an ABI and their families, service providers, ABI specialists, and people and agencies that are interested in the impact of ABI in South Australia. Brain Injury SA is governed by a volunteer Board, comprised of people with a range of backgrounds and skills that are committed to BINSA’s aims and objectives. The Board is responsible for BINSA’s strategic directions and operational priorities. The day to day operational and financial management of Brain Injury SA is the responsibility of the Executive Officer, Liz Forsyth, supported by a team of highly qualified and experienced staff and the many wonderful volunteers who contribute to every area of Brain Injury SA’s operation and without whom Brain Injury SA would be unable to complete its valuable work.

Our ultimate goal is to help people embrace life after ABI.
