SameYou co-founder Jenny Clarke talks to On A Good Day about the day she found out her actress daughter, Emilia Clarke, suffered a brain injury in her early 20s and the family's "disbelief".
Emilia had just finished filming the first season of Game of Thrones, with a starring role as Daenerys Targaryen, when she had her first brain aneurysm. She later had life-saving surgery to treat a second.
Jenny speaks to Elizabeth and Julia about the "catastrophic" impact it had on the family, how it still affects her today and the role she played in supporting Emilia as she went back to film Game of Thrones after her first brain aneursym.
The life-changing event opened their eyes to the lack of rehabilitation provision and aftercare for people living with an acquired brain injury, inspiring them to set up the charity SameYou.
It is helping to raise awareness of acquired brain injury, challenging the stigma around it and helping to train and education health professionals.
Jenny explains more about the charity's vision, the challenges they face and how it is looking at improving mental health care which can have a long-term impact on survivors and creating more community connections.
SameYou is inviting anyone impacted in some way by brain injury to fill out a questionnaire to better understand the recovery experience for a new project it is working on.
SameYou
SameYou launched as Emilia publicly shared her story, inspiring other brain injury survivors to do the same. The website has a section to share your story to be read in its survivor stories.
