The big hair reveal with Natalie

Brightwater Oats Street client in the middle of hair makeover at salon in Inglewood

For many of us, visiting the hairdresser is a simple pleasure we enjoy regularly. However, for Transitional Rehabilitation Program client Natalie, it had been six long years since her last haircut. After suffering a stroke, her focus was on recovery, working on walking and talking before considering self-care.

Thanks to Life’s Possibilities, Natalie finally made it to Inglewood for a cut and colour with our talented hairdresser Abby, and it boosted her confidence tenfold. She had nothing but praise for the Transitional Rehabilitation Program staff at Oats Street and was so thrilled with her mini-makeover that she gave everyone a big hug and twirled out of the salon! 💃

While a haircut may seem like a small thing to some, it can mean the world to others. Let’s remember to appreciate the little luxuries in life and the happiness they can bring.

About Brightwater's Transitional Rehabilitation Program

Brain injury rehabilitation can be long and challenging, but getting the right intervention and the right support – over the right time period – can be life-changing. Since 1991, Brightwater has been an innovator in the area of acquired brain injury (ABI), assisting people with an ABI to find meaning and independence. 

The Oats Street rehabilitation program takes advantage of the brain’s capacity for change. This one-of-a-kind program helps clients achieve remarkable improvement in physical, social and cognitive function.

The program is held at a purpose-built centre located in East Vic Park. It uses a careful combination of environmental design, personal motivation and longer-than-normal therapeutic timeframes. The immersive program is supported by rigorous clinical research and typically lasts from 12 months to 24 months.
