    Brain Injuries with Iain Watkins (Brain Injury NZ)

    Back in April I had an accident (see thumbnail) and it left me with a concussion which made things tough. So to understand brain injuries and what support looks like I had a korero with Iain Watkins from Brain Injury NZ. Audio is a bit scratchy sorry, did my best to clean it.

    With guests Sam Duckor Jones, Glen from Duke Hostel, and Garry Farrow from WTS Waikato.
