Impact of injury:
When one person suffers an injury, the impact does not stop there. An injury travels. It ripples through the family and out the other side into the wider orbit of that person, to their workplace, their immediate social circle, and beyond.

The impact of injury spreads further than the statistics.

Ripple effect:
The effect of injury ripples throughout homes and social circles, impacting countless people. For family members it can be tricky to know what to do or how to get help. That is why APIL created the Severe Injury Help Hub, a website of resources to help people whose friends or family members have become a victim of negligence.

The Hub signposts people to information and support on matters covering finance, carers, bereavement, and mental health in the wake of a serious injury. Share the Severe Injury Help Hub this Injury Awareness Week - it might just reach someone who needs it: https://www.apil.org.uk/severe-injury-help-hub
