The Waiting Room by Headway Newtonabbey

Headway provides the soil for growth, the tools for expression, and the space to flourish

Each brain injury story is as unique as a fingerprint, a tapestry of experiences woven from vastly different threads. Some journeys begin with a sudden twist of fate—an accident, an illness, or an unforeseen event—while others unfold more gradually, shaped by circumstances or conditions over time. No two paths are alike, and yet, they intersect in a remarkable place: Headway.

At Headway, individuals arrive for countless reasons—seeking guidance, connection, or simply understanding. But at the heart of it all is one shared purpose: peer support. Headway creates a haven where survivors can come together, bond over shared challenges, exchange experiences, and celebrate victories, big and small.

Here, the seeds of connection are sown. Headway provides the soil for growth, the tools for expression, and the space to flourish. But what comes next—your adventure, your healing, your triumphs—is entirely your own.

Together, we honour the differences in each journey while celebrating the strength that unites us. Here, every story matters. Here, every story grows.
