The Westmead BIRS THiNK TWiCE community education team was established in 2000 as an initiative of the Brain Injury Outreach Team. The programme provides community education sessions about the causes and results of traumatic brain injury, featuring a team of guest speakers who have themselves sustained a traumatic brain injury.

Young people in our community are at the greatest risk of sustaining a traumatic brain injury, especially on the road and community interest in injury prevention programmes targeting young drivers has never been higher. However participating in THiNK TWiCE is also a positive & meaningful activity for young people who have sustained a brain injury. It provides real life opportunities for them to develop & practice skills in a functional context and is therefore an effective component of community rehabilitation for some individuals.

The THiNK TWiCE community education team is very proud of our team of volunteer speakers and the standard of their presentations. The commitment of time and enthusiasm from our speakers is inspiring!

We appreciate the support received from our donors and management in allowing us to continue the work of community education whilst providing our speakers with a valued and valuable role in society.
