Welcome to Cerebra
Description edit
Introduction
Every year in the UK there are approximately 650,000 new babies born and The Decade of the Brain research suggests that one in four will, at some point in their life, develop a neurological problem. These problems manifest themselves in conditions such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy, learning difficulties, attention deficit, behavioural and emotional problems or developmental delay. In the UK it is known that one in forty children is severely disabled for life.
Cerebra works to ensure that up-to-date, evidence-based knowledge is available and applied for the prevention of brain damage and for proven treatments. All our babies are precious and we do not promote abortion or euthanasia as credible solutions. In addition to the programme of research carried out at UK hospitals, universities and Cerebra's centre, we co-ordinate a 'Parent Support' department providing support, information and research. We also organise a wide range of training seminars, workshops and projects for parents, professionals and children themselves.
Cerebra's unique Information Unit provides specialist information to anyone concerned with brain injury; (medical, educational, legal, therapeutic, welfare rights, etc). We appreciate the pressure on us all to support a variety of needs but please try to imagine the importance of having a healthy generation of babies.
