When someone has a brain injury, families need more support than ever with friends rallying to help at a very difficult time.
But what are the best ways friends can help when someone has a brain injury?
In this episode, Elizabeth and Julia are joined by their close friends Emma and Helen as they discuss how the friendships helped them in dark days - and continue to support them - following brain injury.
They go back to the moments of crisis they experienced when their husbands were in hospital and talk about the support they received, including a lively debate on how best to communicate information to wider groups of friends.
