The Child Brain Injury Trust (CBIT) is a UK-wide
charity offering support, information and training on acquired brain injury
in children.
The impact of acquired brain injury on a child
and family is enormous and lifelong. Families are often unprepared to
deal with the issues and often unaware of the services their child will
need or how to access them. Families remain at the heart of CBIT's work
and we respond to their needs in the following ways: Child
and Family Support
Child and Family Support is a unique way of working, providing local support,
information and opportunities to children and families affected by an
acquired brain injury
