Facilitating adjustment to the brain injury is just as important for significant others as it is for the individual and assistance provided may take different forms, and be provided directly or else involve signposting to other services.

Brain injury education often focuses on promoting understanding about specific areas of functioning or neuropsychological change following acquired brain injury, for example, in areas such as memory, executive functioning, mood disorder, or emotional and behavioural regulation. Couples therapy may help with adjusting to changed circumstances and roles. Participation in support groups can help people to feel less isolated, judged or lonely.
