Headway Black Country Information

We are dedicated to supporting brain injury survivors, their carers and families whose lives are often turned upside down by a brain injury. Acquired Brain Injury can affect anyone at any time, regardless of age, gender or lifestyle. It is often caused by: • an injury or accident • a stroke or brain haemorrhage • an infection of the brain Each year as many as 1 million people attending hospital in the UK will have sustained head injury. Of these, about 135,000 are confirmed as having a brain injury. The problems caused by a brain injury may not be obvious to other people. Brain injury can, however, completely change the life of the survivor and the lives of those around them. We have a small, expert team that can help guide you to the information and support you may need. We also provide a specialist Brain Injury Rehabilitation Service that offers a wide range of activities designed to help brain injury survivors relearn lost skills and gain new ones.
