Happy World Physiotherapy Day - 8 September

Today we celebrate the incredible physiotherapists who make a life-changing difference for kiritaki across ABI Rehabilitation. As part of our neuro-rehabilitation teams, they combine evidence-informed practice with compassion and creativity to help people regain independence, rebuild confidence, and return to the activities, roles, and communities that matter most to them. From inpatient and residential services to community rehabilitation across the North Island, our physiotherapists are helping kiritaki of all ages achieve goals that once felt out of reach.

If you're passionate about person-centred, evidence-informed neuro-rehabilitation and want to be part of a supportive, inspiring team, we'd love to hear from you. Join us in helping people rediscover what's possible after a brain injury. https://loom.ly/1YSOfCc

Pink Shirt Day is a reminder that everyone deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported.

On Friday across the motu our teams came together to wear pink on Pink Shirt Day/Anti Bullying Day to celebrate diversity, inclusion, promote kindness, connections and respect in our workplaces. We dont do this just on Pink Shirt Day but every day to celebrate an inclusive workplace where people can show up as their authentic selves.

Thanks to our team for bringing kindness, respect, and belonging to what we do every day.

Last week, ABI Rehabilitation and Proactive Healthcare were proud to support a number of our kaimahi to attend and present at the Australasian Society for the Study of Brain Impairment (ASSBI) and New Zealand Special Interest Group in Neuropsychology (NZSIGN) Conference held in Ōtautahi Christchurch.

Our teams delivered how-to sessions, oral presentations, and poster presentations covering topics from cultural authenticity in brain injury rehabilitation to concussion recovery through group education and peer support. These presentations reflected our commitment to evidence-based practice and person-centred rehabilitation that recognises the social, cultural, and environmental factors shaping recovery.

A huge congratulations to Te Rina Ruru-Pelasio, Māori Development Manager, who received the ASSBI/Summer Foundation Lived Experience Award for the session demonstrating the greatest impact on people with lived experience.

We also want to acknowledge Jonathan Armstrong, Director of Allied Health, and Kathryn Murrell, Clinical Neuropsychologist and National Psychology Advisor at ABI Rehabilitation, who co-convened this year’s conference programme.

ABI Rehabilitation and Proactive Rehab were also proud sponsors of the conference.

National Psychology Week | 11–17 May
Theme: Remember the past and dream for the future

This week is a chance to celebrate how Psychology supports people to heal, adapt, and move forward in life.

Across Aotearoa, Psychologists work in hospitals, clinics, schools, homes, community settings, and online - supporting kiritaki through a wide range of challenges, including:

- Brain injury (TBI, stroke, cardiac events, hypoxia)
- Acute and chronic pain
- Long COVID
- Injury-related mental distress
- Sports injuries and concussion

Alongside rehabilitation, psychologists also support therapy, assessment, return-to-work planning, and recovery goal-setting.

Beyond this, psychology plays a role across mental health services, schools, prisons, GP practices, NGOs, universities, and private practice - all contributing to wellbeing in our communities.

National Psychology Week | 11–17 May
Theme: Remember the past and dream for the future

This week celebrates Psychology and the role it plays in supporting our minds, wellbeing, and future.

Our Psychology Team shares a few simple ways to care for your brain health: staying physically active, eating well, prioritising good sleep, and avoiding smoking while managing alcohol intake. It also helps to protect your head when needed, stay on top of any health conditions, keep learning new things, and make time for meaningful activities.

Connection is just as important- spending time with others and getting out into nature can make a real difference.

Te Whare Tapa Whā reminds us wellbeing is holistic:

Taha tinana (physical), taha hinengaro (mental), taha whānau (social), and taha wairua (spiritual).

Theme: Remember the past and dream for the future

This week we celebrate the incredible mahi of Psychologists across Aotearoa.

All our Psychologists are registered with the New Zealand Psychologists Board (NZPB), ensuring safe, ethical, and professional care.

They bring expertise across areas including neuropsychology, pain management, clinical, behavioural, health psychology, and paediatrics.

Our Psychology team supports kiritaki and whānau throughout their rehabilitation journey after physical and mental injury, providing:

• Psychological assessments
• Therapeutic support and intervention
• Treatment planning and guidance

Psychology is an essential part of our interdisciplinary team (IDT) approach, helping ensure care is holistic, person-centred, and recovery-focused.

We’re grateful for the expertise and compassion our Psychology team brings every day.
