CEO Helen King BMM

"I have experience working with people whose lives have been turned upside down by brain injury. Many individuals and their families struggle with the changes a brain injury brings into their lives.

I bring empathy and understanding of this silent injury to Think Ahead and work towards helping people become aware and have a better understanding of how this injury can be prevented through education."

 

Patsy Toop LL.B, B.Ec, Dip. Building

"For many years I have worked as a personal injury lawyer. In that time I have seen some of the most horrific personal injuries. The most catastrophic of these is brain injury which has a domino affect on the injured individual family and friends.

I have volunteered  my time to be involved with 'Think Ahead' brain injury prevention foundation in order to raise awareness education and prevention of this silent and invisible injury in Australia that somehow impacts on us all directly or indirectly."

 

Trevor Stacpoole BA

"At 17 years of age I was head injured in a car accident. It was four or five years until the disorientation and headaches stopped. I believe I was undiagnosed with no follow up testing.

I have joined Think Ahead to support their work in promoting brain Injury awareness.

I fully support Think Ahead in raising awareness in the prevention of brain injury through accidents."

 

Christian King BSocSc, MAIPC

"I am a sociologist and professional counsellor specialising in working in rehabilitation with people who have sustained a brain injury.

Because brain injury is regarded as the silent and invisible injury. it is often under diagnosed and underestimated as a personal injury. It is often misunderstood as a head injury or concussion. Brain injury has a profound impact on family, community and the broader society.

I have joined Think Ahead as a consultant to promote awareness and prevention of brain injury in Australia."
