Anna Watkiss – Guest Speaker, Digby Brown Head Injury Information Day, Edinburgh

The Head Injury Information Day run by Digby Brown took place during Head Injury Awareness Week. Anna Watkiss was asked to present on the broad subject of relationships after brain injury. Her talk aimed to challenge health professionals working with individuals with acquired brain injury to consider the goal that many clients want to work on; that of forming a new relationship or being supported to maintain an existing relationship. Anna presented a whistle stop tour of how clients and health professionals supporting them, might work to maintain relationships, establish new relationships, support a client’s right to a sexual relationship and the use of dating apps/websites within the confines of capacity and supporting clients safely.
