Description
When someone you care for suddenly behaves differently after a brain injury, it can be difficult to understand what is happening or know how to respond. Acquired Brain Injury Training from High Skills Training helps care staff, support workers, community healthcare professionals, social workers, and family carers understand how ABI can affect behaviour, communication, emotions, cognition, and everyday life. It can help you recognise that changes in behaviour are not always intentional and respond with greater understanding and confidence.
Begin by exploring how the brain works and how different brain regions influence thinking, behaviour, communication, and daily functioning. You’ll learn about the causes and types of acquired brain injury, how injuries affect the brain, and why some symptoms may appear immediately while others develop later.
The training then focuses on the effects of ABI, including memory and cognitive difficulties, communication and speech changes, emotional and psychological challenges, behavioural changes, and physical or sensory impacts. You’ll also explore how brain injury can affect relationships, education, employment, independence, and family life, helping you understand the person beyond their symptoms.
You’ll explore person-centred recovery, functional support, behaviour management, emotional regulation, and the role of multidisciplinary teams. These topics can help carers respond more appropriately to frustration, agitation, confusion, and other changes without unnecessarily escalating difficult situations.
You’ll also develop an understanding of mental capacity, consent, supported decision-making, safeguarding, family support, and community reintegration. The training highlights the importance of recognising individual needs while supporting independence, wellbeing, and quality of life over the longer term.
After completion, you’ll receive a FREE digital certificate to recognise your learning. Enrol in this Acquired Brain Injury Training to build your understanding of ABI, support individuals with greater empathy, and respond more confidently to the challenges that brain injury can bring.
