CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) is a condition linked to repeated head injuries and is still being researched and better understood. What we do know is that changes to the brain from injury or trauma, can have a significant impact on a person’s mental health, behaviour, emotions and daily functioning.
For some people, these changes can affect mood, memory, impulse control, relationships and the ability to manage everyday life. These impacts are often invisible, complex, and deeply misunderstood.
At 4 Reasons Disability Services, we support people living with mental health challenges and psychosocial disability, recognising that experiences of trauma, injury and neurological change can shape how someone navigates the world. Our approach is grounded in understanding, dignity and person-centred support, meeting people where they are and responding to what they need.
CTE Awareness Day is a reminder of the importance of education, compassion and ongoing research, and of supporting people with care, not judgement.
