Asking for help
is a strength!

We are everyday people, doing extraordinary things! As independent volunteers, we come together to build a vibrant community for those impacted by brain injuries.

Brain injuries are like snowflakes,
No two are the same.

An Acquired Brain Injury is a life changing experience. No one will know your exact experiences. Not even someone with the same injury!

But we can help. The thousands of small changes in your life are experienced by others too. We have experienced strokes, aneurisms, accidents and more.

Join us on Facebook

We are an energetic and inclusive community, filled with diverse individuals who gather regularly to connect and converse.

Moments / Members

You don't have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step.

Strong emotions are part of recovery from a life changing injury. Grief may be a constant companion. An awareness of what you have “lost”. Frustration. Anger. Resentment. Speak to someone who has travelled a similar path.

In 2017, I personally experienced a stroke that inspired me to create the Kings Park Warriors. With unwavering support from my wife, Julia, I received vital treatment after experiencing distressing symptoms. Grateful for my fortunate outcome, I felt a deep calling to provide support to fellow stroke survivors. Through organising weekly coffee meet-ups in Kings Park, Perth, the group has become a dynamic platform for fostering connections, sharing experiences, and nurturing strength and support among its members. Together, we stand resilient, united, and committed to making a positive impact on the journey of stroke recovery.

Testimonials / Community Spirit

This has been an amazing group in connecting with people dealing / struggling with what we are all going through... it has made me feel not alone and also has helped me with my decision about getting out there to talk to others who haven't got this same support we have in the bigger towns....also talking about and reading what we go through on a day to day basis instead of keeping It inside is good for our healing journey....this group lets us express our true feelings without judgement

I’ve found that the group helps me realise that I’m not alone in my struggle. And although not everyone in the group is my age, and we all have different worldviews, I’ve found that knowing that I’m not the only one and being able to just enjoy company of similarly experienced people has been a huge help for my mental health! So encouraged by all you folk!

Greg and I are super grateful for the wonderful opportunity to meet at share stories with Suzanne Griffiths Tanya Spencer when they recently visited Exmouth!

"I found the King's Park Warriors Support Groups invaluable for my Niece who is a childhood stroke survivor. Her confidence and independence has increased since attending and the value of her connecting with other stroke survivors cant be underestimated. Thank you King's Park Warriors, through my work as CEO of Epilepsy WA, I was already aware of your wonderful groups, but I now have an even deeper understanding of how crucial they are. "
