Social inclusion, a sense of belonging to community, makes people feel cared for, loved and valued which in turn protects wellbeing. On the flip-side, exclusion is linked to unhappiness, illness and reduced life expectancy. The issues that prevent the social inclusion of people with an acquired brain injury and approaches to foster participation in the social, economic, institutional and symbolic fabric of life will be discussed. The session will end with the launch of United Brains, so come along and join the party!
