Headway Lincolnshire is a local charity that provides information and support to brain injury survivors and their families across the county.
Headway Lincolnshire can help in the following ways -
- 1:1 Counselling for Brain Injury Survivors
- 1:1 Counselling for Carers and family members. A brain injury is a family affair.
- Publications relating to practical aspects of brain injury. These information guides are often invaluable in helping people affected by brain injury come to understand and deal with their changed circumstances.
- Training courses to improve knowledge and understanding among professionals working in the field of brain injury
- Six-weekly education groups for brain injury survivors and those caring for them to better understand their brain injury and its effects (delivered online)
- Peer support groups in Lincoln, Boston, Grantham & Spalding for brain injury survivors and their families to meet other families in similar situations.
- One-off assessments; either in the home or via Skype/Zoom. We will look at signposting and referring to services if required.
- Support with applying for a Brain Injury Identity Card
- Fortnightly Zoom Carers Support Group
- Weekly Zooms - 'Together from Home' every Thursday morning e.g. Pilates, Laughter Yoga etc

This is good for wellbeing because

- You can get the information and support that you need from experienced professionals that is appropriate and timely.
Joining Headway Lincolnshire was a turning point in my life, and it has helped me in so many ways. It enables me to get out and about and meet new people, something I enjoyed doing before my brain injury.
