Training Description

This session has been created specifically for family members of people with a brain injury to provide some understanding of the hidden effects following brain injury.

The session aims to show the cognitive, emotional and behavioural difficulties that can be present in brain injury survivors.

Throughout the session, we will also provide practical tips on how to communicate with brain injury survivors, how to deal with common behavioural issues, and how to support their recovery and rehabilitation process.

We will also provide details on some Headway services that may help when navigating some of the challenges you may face ahead.

You will also be given the opportunity to make a donation to Headway. Your donation will help us to continue providing information and support to people affected by brain injury, including our Helpline, publications, Emergency Fund, Brain Injury Identity Card and much more.
