Anchor Rehabilitation Support Services

🌟 This is Your Daily Reminder to Be Kind to Yourself 🌟

From the perspective of a Registered Behaviour Technician, it's clear how much dedication and love caregivers put into their roles. However, it's equally important for caregivers to remember that self-kindness isn't just a luxury—it's a necessity. 💖

Taking time to rest, recharge, and acknowledge the incredible work you do is vital. Your well-being matters, too.

So today, take a deep breath and show yourself the same compassion you so generously give to others. You deserve it. 🌱

🚨 In the Blink of an Eye, Life Can Change 🚨

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) can happen in an instant—often when you least expect it. Did you know that over 50% of all TBIs are caused by car accidents? The impact from a collision, even at low speeds, can result in devastating brain injuries that may affect a person for the rest of their life.

If you or a loved one experiences a car accident, even if it seems minor, seek medical attention immediately. Early detection of a TBI can make all the difference in recovery.

Stay safe on the roads and always wear your seatbelt. Your life—and your brain—depend on it. 🧠
