105. Supporting Brain Injury Survivors | Jenny Clarke - SameYou, Mental Health, & Recovery Services

The Post Concussion Podcast - Life After A Brain Injury

What if there was a way to truly support and understand the long-term challenges faced by young adults who have suffered from brain injuries? Join us as we welcome Jenny Clarke, co-founder of SameYou, a nonprofit organization that focuses on mental health and emotional recovery for brain injury survivors.
Jenny shares her personal experience with her daughter Emilia Clarke's brain injuries and how it led them to create Same You, with a mission to advocate for better recovery and rehabilitation services for those affected.
We explore the hurdles faced by people living with brain injuries, delving into the importance of mental health support. Jenny discusses how SameYou is striving to make a difference in the world of all brain injuries. We also touch upon the challenges of explaining the long-term effects of brain injuries to people who don't understand them, and the need for increased public awareness.

Thank you to everyone who was so supportive over the years and I hope these episodes continue to help others as they come across them! I have set on a new venture, feel free to email me as I do check them every so often.
