Brain injury doesn't just affect individuals; it can transform the lives of entire families. Depending upon the severity of your relative's injury and its effects, you may have to make considerable changes to the way you live, such as becoming a part-time or full-time carer.
If you are caring for someone with a brain injury, or have a relative being treated in hospital, then the information in the carers section of our website should help you to meet the challenges ahead and find the support you need.
Headway's booklet Caring for someone with a brain injury (PDF) provides extensive information for carers plus an overview of brain injury, useful illustrations and case studies that bring the information to life. Brain injury survivors and carers can receive free copies of appropriate booklets from the Headway helpline.
