When I last blogged, our Manchester head injury team were about to host an event for a number of case managers which turned out to be an extremely lively debate enjoyed by all.

Brain injury case managers are often a key element of the support which we are able to arrange for those who have suffered a brain injury. Often, particularly for those who may not be pursuing a compensation claim, knowing how to find and where to turn for information and support can very difficult for those who have suffered a brain injury. Individuals and families easily find themselves immersed in a world that perhaps they do not understand or recognise after brain injury.

With that thought in mind, I wanted to mention the national brain injury charity, Headway whose regional branches provide such support and for further details you might want to take a look at their website.  My fellow team members at Irwin Mitchell help to support our local Manchester group and I am delighted to say that I am helping with the launch of Headway Liverpool which should hopefully take off  by end of this year.  A number of the regional Headway groups can provide information, advice and support and a number also have day centres providing a meeting place for social events and an opportunity to talk to other people who have been affected by a brain injury.
