After a brain injury, family roles and dynamics can change significantly with the partner of the survivor usually taking on a caring role as well as additional responsibilities.

In this episode, Elizabeth and Julia discuss how their roles changed after their husbands, Paul and Hector, had a brain injury.

Some of their discussion covers being the sole driver, managing financial affairs, planning for the future and dealing with passwords!

They also talk about the importance of doing activities individually and helping brain injury survivors to regain independence.

Both Elizabeth and Julia have children and talk about balancing family life with being a carer and managing additional tasks, some of which have helped them gain knowledge of areas they'd have normally left to their partner.
