Headway West Midlands - Training Service
Headway West Midlands began in 1983 as a support group for families affected by brain injury and works in partnership with Health & Social Services as well as other voluntary organisations and has now grown to a point where we have a Carer Support & Training Service, Community Outreach Service and a Social Rehabilitation Service.
Carer Support & Training Service
Headway West Midlands Carer Support & Training (CST) Service is designed to meet the specific needs of the families and Carers of someone with a brain injury.
Training Service
We offer training in areas of particular interest to Carers of someone with an acquired brain injury, for example
- Understanding brain injury
- Coping with challenging behaviour
We also provide the opportunity for Carers to access courses leading to qualification, for example
- First Steps in Computing for Carers
- Personal Development
- Learning for Unpaid Carers
- Patient Self Management Programme’s ‘Looking After Me’ course.
Carer Support
There are a number of services we offer that support both the Cared for and the Carer, including Support Groups, Social Rehabilitation. We also arrange a number of various social events where Carers can come together to share friendship and have some ‘time out’. For more information on these services and events, please click here to see our other page on the Carers Network. You can also find further information on the Headway West Midlands website.
