This online support event is for parents and carers who suspect their child has an acquired brain injury (ABI) following meningitis.
Date: 16 September 2025
Time: 10.30 am – 12 pm
What topics will the course cover?
Does your child have long-term after-effects from meningitis, such as fatigue, memory problems, changes in behaviour, or sensory issues?
Do you think they have an acquired brain injury (ABI), but you are struggling to get this recognised? Do you need support to get a diagnosis?
What strategies can you give your child to help with their after-effects? And how can you get the support your child deserves in school?
We are delighted to have Dalia Chowdhury, Educational Service Manager at the Child Brain Injury Trust, join us for this online event, to talk us through the journey of getting an acquired brain injury (ABI) diagnosis and the issues your child might be experiencing.
Dalia will also discuss accessing support for your child in school and ways you can support them. Find out more about Dalia here.
This online event, presented over Zoom, will be hosted by Community Support Officer, Paul Blackburn and a member of Meningitis Now staff as tech support.
