Awareness and education Helping the public, professionals, and policymakers understand the causes, consequences, and complexities of brain injury through the voices of brain injury survivors and carers to challenge stigma, build empathy, and inspire action
Headway UK’s awareness and education initiatives aim to deepen public understanding of brain injury across the UK. Through survivor stories, expert insights, and targeted campaigns, we challenge stigma, promote empathy, and empower communities to support those affected.
