Emotions are a wonderful thing but sometimes are difficult to regulate. They can emerge unexpectedly or can become overwhelming. Difficulties with emotional regulation can lead to psychological difficulties such as anxiety and depression, or problems in relationships and work.

In this group, we will try to understand what emotions are, what they are there for, and most importantly, how we can put into practice proven techniques and strategies that help us to take the upper hand of the experience of emotions.

ABI:RECOVER - Acquired Brain Injury: Recovery, Engagement, and Community Outcomes Via Evidence-Based Rehabilitation

How do thinking skills such as memory influence our ability to make a simple cup of tea, or manage more complex tasks such as taking medications? We are seeking adults aged 18-70 to participate in a study looking at the relationship between thinking skills and everyday life functioning following a brain injury.

This study investigates a range of skills such as memory and problem solving, as well as looking at everyday functioning across a number of areas including accessing the broader community, work, study, and leisure activities. This research will hopefully allow for a better understanding of prognosis following brain injury in adults, as well as provide information as to what skills are most important for everyday functioning and in what areas of a person’s life.

This study is generously supported by Brightwater Care Group through the Brightwater Lyn Beazley Scholarship.

As part of this research, we are assessing both people with and without brain injuries. If you, or someone you know, would be interested in participating or would like more information, phone the Robin Winkler Clinic on (08) 6488 2644.
