Every 30 minutes, a child or young person will acquire a brain injury. This could be the result of an accident, an illness such as meningitis or encephalitis, a poisoning, a stroke or a brain tumour. A brain injury has a devastating and life-long impact on the child and their whole family. Bones can mend and scars can heal but a brain injury stays with you for life and impacts on everything you think, feel and do. Established in 1991, the Child Brain Injury Trust helps children, young people, their families and professionals to come to terms with what has happened and how to deal with the uncertainty that the future holds. Please take a look around our website for further information on any of our services. We provide information, support and training to anyone affected by childhood acquired brain injury. This includes the child or young person themselves, their family and the professionals who support them
