#28 How Family Therapy Can Help After Brain Injury - With Family Therapist & SLT Susie Hayden

The impact of brain injury on the family is at the centre of this podcast and one of the reasons Elizabeth and Julia started On A Good Day, so they knew the next guest would be a good match. In this episode, they are joined by Susie Hayden, a neuro speech and language therapist with 23 years experience working in the NHS. Specialising in aphasia, Susie saw there was a need to work with the whole family system so retrained as a family therapist to get better outcomes for the whole family. She has set up her own practice helping people who have speech and language difficulties, using an holistic approach to therapy. Elizabeth and Julia talk to Susie about the dynamics of family relationships, how they can change after brain injury and some strategies to implement to help them heal.
