Summary
This study tests a family-centred talking therapy (ACT) for young people aged 11-18 with acquired brain injury and their parents. Up to 6 families will receive 12 online therapy sessions. The goal is to see if the therapy is feasible and can improve emotional wellbeing, psychological flexibility, and participation in daily life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) - a type of talk therapy that helps people cope with difficult thoughts and feelings
What this could lead to
If this therapy works, it could offer a new way to help young brain injury survivors and their families manage emotional challenges and improve quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 6 families, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy is delivered online, which may not suit all families.
