How survivors have experienced post-traumatic growth through a process of change. \n \nThe campaign details the negative and difficult aspects of brain injury. This can include the ripple effect\, for example on partners and family members\, who often need to make life changes and adjustments to their own goals and expectations.​ \nBrain injury can affect anyone at any time\, focusing particularly on how it throws plans into disarray\, changes life goals\, and even the sense of who we are.​ Quite literally\, a life rewritten. \nThe campaign will tell the story of plans gone awry. Most of us have at least a rough life-plan in our heads\, however these can be violently thrown off course either by an illness or accident leading to brain injury. ​ \nThese events will often come out of nowhere and may spark a re-evaluation of life aims and objectives\, meaning a recalibration of what is important to us.​ \nStrokes\, falls\, road traffic collisions\, assaults\, brain tumours\, meningitis… these are just a few examples of brain injury causes. \nHeadway Essex is here to support everyone affected by a brain injury\, and those caring for them. Through the support of a network of local groups and branches\, our free helpline and comprehensive online resources\, we rebuild lives – second by second\, step by step\, day by day. \nIn our blog section\, you can read inspirational stories of people who have been helped by Headway Essex and experienced a life rewritten after a brain injury. Read Debi’s story and Ben’s story. \nTake a second to find out more and\, if you can\, please get involved – by donating\, volunteering\, or taking part in an event \n  \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.headwayessex.org.uk/headway-events/abiweek2024/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.headwayessex.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/abiweek-lockup-rgb-three-lines-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230928 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230929 DTSTAMP:20260403T225314 CREATED:20230629T100716Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230629T100716Z UID:17813-1695859200-1695945599@www.headwayessex.org.uk SUMMARY:Escape The Wild For Headway DESCRIPTION:Join us for an adventure on the 28th September 2023\, Coniston Lake District.\nThis one day adventure promises to be an exhilarating and uplifting outdoor experience.
