Headway House Wellbeing Centre at Credenhill is a safe supportive environment which enables individuals affected by an acquired brain injury to have fun whilst maintaining or re-learning skills to enable them to live independently. The service is supported by two Registered Nurses who provide clinical support enabling the service to support individuals who have complex problems, for example, epilepsy or those who have long term health conditions such as diabetes.
Service users spend time with other people who have had an ABI, forming a support group for each other and new members. We aim to support people to achieve their goals and by so doing feel more confident about living with the ongoing effects of an ABI.
Our main aim is to provide support and rehabilitation to members through the centre, outreach and online services. We recognise that a head or brain injury can affect the whole family and we offer specific support services for carers and family members.
