Brain injuries are widespread in Switzerland, with approximately 26,000 new cases occurring each year, primarily due to strokes, traumatic brain injuries, and cerebral haemorrhages, as well as other conditions. In addition to the roughly 130,000 affected individuals, around 300,000 close relatives in Switzerland are also impacted by brain injuries.
FRAGILE Suisse offers services specifically for these individuals: Through services such as free counselling, assisted living, and leisure courses, affected persons and their relatives receive guidance and support in tackling the daily challenges that come with a brain injury. To ensure the continued provision of these services, the organisation relies on donations. The door-to-door campaign aims to educate the local population about brain injuries and the importance of their work.
The dialogue facilitators can be identified by their white vests featuring the FRAGILE Suisse logo. After discussing with them, there is an opportunity to enter into a support membership to aid people with brain injuries through an annual or semi-annual contribution. FRAGILE Suisse thanks residents in advance for welcoming the dialogue facilitators and looks forward to an engaging exchange of ideas with the population.
