Why genyus exists

700,000 people in Australia live with a brain injury – 75% of survivors are aged under 65.

Survivors of physical trauma and chronic illness often experience isolation which is insufficiently addressed by clinical services.

96% of young stroke survivors often lack access to follow-up therapy and support to resume everyday life.

20% of suicides are linked to mental and physical health problems.

We provide survivor-led support and leadership programs that promote confidence, improve self-esteem, communication skills, enrich rehab outcomes and enhance overall capacity (both personally and professionally) to participate and contribute to community life.

Impact Tesimonials

“Finding Genyus has been a real self-confidence boost. Topic Talk has been a life saver! Watching other people's stories confirmed to me that there is life after stroke.”

“This was the first time I started believing there was a purpose behind the pain I went through, and I was meant to flourish with it.”

“Genyus brought light into my life, even more than I could’ve imagined”

“I was 22 when I had my stroke, and for the next 23 years, I had no connection to support. Since joining, I’ve felt embraced by a community that is global, which is amazing!”

“Although I had very supportive friends and family, I still felt isolated. No one really understood what I was going through. That was then, before Genyus came along. These days, it’s amazing how supported, connected and empowered I feel - now that I’m part of the Genyus crew.

“It's the self-esteem boost I didn't know I needed.”

“Before my stroke, I was a very good singer, so to lose that was a painful shock to me. I was extremely extroverted, but after the third stroke, I became more inward. But now, because of Genyus, I'm coming back to myself!”
