A New Partnership to Support People with Brain Injuries
Headway Devon, a local charity based in Exeter, specializes in helping individuals rehabilitate from head injuries.
They have partnered with Thompsons Solicitors, MAPS Benevolent Trust, and the Players of the Postcode Lottery to provide support to people with brain injuries.
After brain injury people are discharged home to a family network without wider support. You've spent months in hospital, in ICU, in rehabilitation with a team of clinicians around you and suddenly you're all alone.
This partnership aims to address the issue of people being discharged from hospital without adequate support, often still recovering and regaining skills.
- Headway Devon works with around 100 people every week
- Many more individuals go home alone, unaware of the support available to them
Thanks to the new partnership, Headway Devon can now provide support to people in the hospital, helping them navigate the challenges of brain injury rehabilitation and potential legal battles for compensation.
