How does a Brain Injury affect thinking, learning and socialising?
Your brain is the control centre for everything you do – thinking, learning, remembering, speaking, understanding others, socialising and managing your emotions.
When part of your brain gets injured, it can affect how well these systems work together.
This is especially true during adolescence because the brain is developing and maturing – particularly the parts that help with planning, problem-solving, and understanding complex social situations.
