Brain Drain: Wake up to fatigue!

A key aim of the Brain Drain campaign is to give brain injury survivors tools to help them to better explain their fatigue to those around them.

This film features brain injury survivor Candice Ridley, who attends Headway Nottingham. It aims to give viewers a brain injury survivor’s perspective of typical everyday scenarios and interactions that they can face as a result of their fatigue being misunderstood.

In addition, Candice shares her experience of brain injury-related fatigue in more detail in an accompanying short film, which will form part of Headway’s Brain injury and me series of personal testimonies.

We would like to say a big thank you to Candice, and also actors Hazi Mistry, Katherine Butterfield and Megan Leask-Walters for volunteering their time to appear in the film.
