Hjerneskadeforeningen is a Danish association supporting people with acquired brain injuries and their families as they adjust to life after an injury. Its guiding message, “Lives saved should also be lived,” reflects its focus on helping affected individuals and relatives build meaningful lives. Through hjerneskadet.dk, the association provides accessible information about brain injuries, their causes and effects, diagnosis, rehabilitation, fatigue, and conditions such as stroke, hydrocephalus, meningitis, and encephalitis.

The organisation offers telephone guidance, legal advice, support with everyday challenges, and help navigating municipal services, insurance, compensation, and rehabilitation. It also connects people through local activities, networks, peer groups, and opportunities to meet others with similar experiences. Resources include webinars, podcasts, articles, personal stories, books, films, a members’ magazine, and information for young people and caregivers. The association arranges activities such as Braincamp and Brainstorm, shares relevant news and events, and provides a shop featuring publications and materials. People can become members, volunteer, subscribe to its newsletter, or support its work through donations.
