Who will we be chatting with next week? February 17, 2010

Each year we have been chatting with Jacqui Pierce to promote Brain Injury Awareness week, and give a plug to all the events that are on in our area.

This year Ivan Thorne, who is from the Victim of Crime program at Centacare, will be with us.

Given that 3000 brain injuries in Australia are the direct result of Domestic Violence and Violent Assaults, we will have much to discuss.

Hopefully, we will get to chat with a client of Ivan who has a brain injury from an assault.
