Brain Injury and Social Environment.

Special Edition Brain Injury and Social Dimensions A Social Work Perspective

In a special edition interview broadcast, expert Akudo Amadiegwu from Kent University and the University of Cambridge discusses brain injury - how individuals are affected by it and how family members of the person suffering from brain injury are also impacted. The discussion also focuses on how social work as a science can help in healing the psychological issues in global human society, and what opportunities research in social science offers to promote social adherence and solidarity in society to handle brain injury.
