Get Help and Support

Our Day Service

At our Day Service, clients have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of programs specifically designed to promote ‘living well’ after brain injury. These programs encompass various activities that focus on physical, emotional, and social wellbeing, helping clients regain skills, build confidence, and foster a sense of community.

Empowering Recovery and Independence

Our Day Service provides individuals with the opportunity to rediscover skills, connect with others, and embark on a new journey following a brain injury. We offer a variety of structured sessions designed to support recovery, promote independence, and enhance overall well-being.

Our programs include symptom management groups focused on mood and behaviour regulation, emotional changes, and fatigue management, alongside brain injury education sessions to help individuals better understand their condition. Additionally, we provide creative arts, physical activity, and life skills courses, all aimed at helping individuals thrive and reach their full potential.

With centres located across the region, we are committed to making our services accessible to as many people as possible. We offer flexible support tailored to individual needs, whether for short-term goal achievement, specific time periods, or longer-term respite. Our dedicated team of Key Support Workers conducts regular assessments to ensure we deliver the best possible outcomes for our clients.

At Headway Norfolk and Waveney, we are dedicated to providing the highest standard of support, helping individuals rebuild their confidence and independence after brain injury. We work closely with leading professionals in the field and have strong partnerships with organisations such as Norfolk and Waveney Acquired Brain Injury Network (NWABIN). These connections ensure we stay up to date with the latest research and best practices, allowing us to offer effective, evidence-based, and person-centred support. Our board includes medical professionals, specialists, and individuals with lived experience of brain injury, ensuring a well-rounded, expert-informed approach that puts our clients’ well-being first.

Our Key Support Workers and Area Managers bring over 25 years of experience working with brain injury, equipping them with invaluable knowledge and insight into the challenges individuals face. They have undergone thorough training from specialist occupational therapists, ensuring that they can provide informed, compassionate, and effective support. Their expertise, combined with our strong professional partnerships, ensures that our programs remain person-centred, tailored, and continually evolving to meet the unique needs of each individual.
