Synapse Brain Injury Training – Understanding the Brain (Module 1)

Our brains control everything we think, feel, and do, so understanding the brain is crucial to supporting and interacting with others. One in 45 Australians live with a brain injury and it is often invisible and can take years or even decades to heal.

The e-learning course Understanding the Brain examines how the brain works and what happens when injured. It also examines ways to support those who live with brain injuries.

Topics overview:

• Introduction to the brain
• What is a brain injury
• What are the causes of brain injury
• The effect of brain injury on different parts of the brain
