Anoxic Injury Network

With the increase in population of people living with anoxic brain injury, and the growing numbers of their family, loved ones and friends impacted by the consequences of this serious injury, the need for information, awareness and support is so necessary. Many of us have become caregivers and are learning as we go. Anoxic Injury Network is to exchange information, resources and experiences, giving support and encouragement to one another in a caring community.
