How your gifts supported survivors in 2023
SameYou became a member of the World Health Organisation's World Rehabilitation Alliance. We launched phase 1 of our peer-to-peer support pilot program, SameChat We held 3 challenges filled with resources to support the whole person, brain, body and spirit, during recovery Neuro Rehabilitation Online (NROL) has been rolled out across 5 NHS Hospital Trusts in Lancashire. We developed over 50 resources to support survivors and their loved ones during recovery We added more rehabilitation services to our UK Neuro Recovery Directory Since launching SameYou 4 years ago, we have received almost 10,000 stories from survivors. By the end of the year, we will have published another 52 new portraits. Many survivors experience a feeling of relief when reading other survivor’s stories. It normalises their own experience and makes them feel less alone.
Looking into 2024
Work is underway to expand NROL further We are working on a pilot project in partnership with Mount Sinai Health System, New York to develop a new, innovative, mental health-centred recovery pathway, and an information and training programme We will be working with a major new partner to increase awareness of the need for increased brain injury rehabilitation and highlighting the impact of health inequality We will develop resources for an advocacy movement to support the objectives of the World Rehabilitation Alliance We are working on launching a US Neuro Recovery Directory We are working to host a special online event for our 5th birthday
But to continue to create positive change in the brain injury recovery pathway, we need your help.
As we lean into 2024, we would be grateful for a gift that will allow us to forge ahead with innovative and lifechanging projects. Whether you make a one-off gift or join our monthly givers, you can support our mission and the 1 in 3 who will experience a brain injury in their lifetime.
