Eligible participants will be individuals who have: 1\) completed Staged Community\-Based Based Brain Injury Rehabilitation (SCBIR) at Oats Street with a minimum length of stay of 6 months, 2\) been discharged for at least 3 months, and 3\) are able to communicate in basic conversational English.
•Family: Clients and/or their legal guardians will provide consent for the researcher to contact family member/s and carers by email. Family members aged 18 years and older will be included if they have regular contact with the client. Carers who have worked with the client at least once per week for more than 3 months will be invited to participate if the client does not have an eligible family member.
