As we come to the end of the week, it’s a good time to reflect on something we see every day in neurorehabilitation: Progress isn’t always big or obvious.

Sometimes it looks like:
• getting out of the house
• managing fatigue a little better
• joining a conversation
• trying something that felt difficult before

These moments might seem small, but they matter.

At BIS Services, these are the wins we celebrate 💛

💬 What’s a small win you’ve had this week?

Today is International Epilepsy Awareness Day 💜

Epilepsy is something many individuals we support live with following brain injury. It can complicate the rehabilitation process, yet it’s still widely misunderstood.

Seizures don’t always look the same, and the impact goes far beyond what we see in the moment.

Awareness matters. Understanding matters. Support matters.

At BIS Services, we’re committed to supporting individuals with complex needs, including epilepsy, in a way that is safe, informed, and person-centred.

💬 If you feel comfortable, share your experience or something you wish more people understood about epilepsy.

Pregnancy after brain injury isn’t talked about enough.

In this clip from BIScussions, we touch on something important: the lack of awareness around brain injury, even within healthcare settings.

Sometimes, getting the right support means having to advocate, explain, and push to be heard.

For new and expectant mothers, this can make an already challenging time even more complex.

🎙️ We talk more about this in our latest episode

💬What exactly does a Cognitive Rehabilitation Assistant (CRA) do?

An easy way to describe a CRA's role is that they act as the 'frontal lobe' of the client. The CRA can help fill in the gaps of cognition that a client may experience after a brain injury.

When it comes to supporting a client who has children, this ensures safe outings - anything the client misses, forgets, or doesn't foresee, the will recognise and support with.

We learn so much with time, but immediately after a brain injury everything can be a blur of confusion, fear and change.

If you could go back and speak to yourself right after you had your brain injury, what would you say?

Your words may help others at the start of their journey. 🩵

One of the biggest challenges that people with brain injuries face is misunderstanding.

There are so many misconceptions, and so many people live with hidden symptoms and effects. People often make incorrect assumptions about the diagnosis and abilities of people living with brain injuries.

What do you think is the most misunderstood thing about brain injury?
