Headway Dumfries and Galloway
Headway House (Dumfries & Galloway) Association Ltd supports individuals who have an acquired brain injury, their families and/or carers to understand their injury, the recovery process and to assist in their rehabilitation goals and strategies; we work across the whole of the Dumfries and Galloway region.
We offer support through 5 services across a persons lifespan.
- Initial referral is made to the Adult Outreach service who meet with the brain injured individual and their family/carers in their own home or within hospital, offering advice, information and support on recovery following their brain injury.
- Our day service runs within Headway House, operating 4 days a week Monday - Thursday. Headway House offers each client the opportunity for slow stream rehabilitation, assisting in regaining independent living skills while working towards the persons own goals and targets. Headway Centre offers a wide choice of activities, striving to meet service users needs, interests and choices.
- Community Support Service assists people to live in their own homes as independently as possible, offering assistance with day-to-day tasks including budgeting, cooking and paperwork.
- Open Minds is an 8-week programme which offers detailed and clear information about acquired brain injury, helping people understand their brain injury and the way it impacts on their lives.
- The Child and Family outreach service offers support, advice and information to the child, their parents or carers, siblings and extended family members. The child and family outreach worker works alongside schools, health and socials services to help all involved understand the difficulties the child may have.
