Speakers

Traumatic Brain Injuries are a common consequence of family violence. Research has found that over half of all individuals who have been in an abusive relationship have suffered a TBI due to the physical trauma inflicted by their partner. In many cases the TBI’s are severe and may result in long-term physical, cognitive and behavioural impairments. Studies have also found that victims of family violence are more likely to suffer TBI’s than the general population. These injuries can have a significant impact on victim’s lives. The cost of these injuries is often hidden. Our six keynote speakers are all influential voices and renowned figures in this space. With their extensive and diverse knowledge, research, advocacy, and experience, they have all dedicated many years to improving access to care, raising awareness, and building the capability of the people supporting victim-survivors.
