Emotional and behavioural problems can include mood-swings, depression, disinhibited behaviour, lack of social skills, violence to themselves and others. Since some problems may be a reaction to impaired ability, not a direct consequence of brain damage, it is important to consult a psychologist. Other members of the family may also need help to cope with the effects of the trauma. The Trust's aims have now been widened to support children and their families. Subscription No charge for families.
Fees vary for professional workers.
