My name is Matthew Hayden and I am a traumatic brain injury survivor. I sustained my brain injury after being attacked in 2018 when I was 17 years old.  

I know how lonely and scary having a traumatic brain injury can be and I want to help other young people who are dealing with their new life after brain injury as much as I can.  I want them to realise that they can still make plans to have a good life, it may be a different path to what they had planned but it can still be good.  

I also want to help to raise awareness and understanding of brain injury through the work we do at After Matters.
