QBIC Community Webinar - Brain Injury and Addiction: The overlooked connection
Brain Injury and Addiction: The Overlooked Connection
After a brain injury, the systems that manage reward, impulse and habit do not work the way they used to. Addiction is a medical condition – not a moral one – and researchers are now starting to understand how brain injury reshapes the brain and makes it more vulnerable to addictive behaviours. These findings are starting to transform how people are treated and supported.
Join us for the next QBIC Community Webinar, where our expert panel unpacks what is happening in the brain and what actually helps.
Our speakers:
Assoc Prof Matthew Gullo - Clinical Psychologist and Associate Professor in Clinical Psychology, Griffith Centre for Mental Health, Griffith University
Dr James Gooden - Senior Clinical Neuropsychologist, Turning Point Addiction Neuropsychology Service, and Lead Investigator, Neuropsychology Clinic Research Program, Monash University
Lived experience speaker - to be announced
Hosted by Mr Tim Cudmore - Chair of the QBIC Consumer Council
