North East Networks

North East Networks was established to address the social isolation that many people experience after their rehabilitation from an acquired brain injury.

North East Networks uses a community development approach to assist people who have an acquired brain injury to re-establish their social networks or to establish new ones. People who have an acquired brain injury are referred to the Network through Brain Injury Options Coordination.

Individuals are supported to participate in Network functions and to be involved in their local community. The members determine the direction of the network. Various recreational, educational and community volunteer activities are organised and members select the activity that interests them. Coordinators assist members to implement the decisions of the network and limited support worker assistance is available. Additional volunteers are always needed and welcomed.

NE Networks commenced early in 1998, involving people who live in the north eastern suburbs of Adelaide.

How does it work?

The direction of the network, and what sort of things it gets involved in, is determined by the members involved.

Various recreational, educational and community volunteer activities are organised, and are attended by any member who is interested in that activity. Support to be involved, is provided where necessary.

Computer classes, art classes, walking groups, graffiti cleaning, are some of the interests of the current members.

A co-ordinator carries out the decisions of the network members, and support workers can provide support where needed.
