Support groups and meetings are a big part of what we do. These are friendly and informal meet-ups which provided peer-to-peer support, and is facilitated by one of our Link Workers. Group meetings may also include workshops, for example, where an external speaker comes along and discusses specific topics related to brain injury.
"A problem shared is a problem halved" - our groups are a great way to meet and chat to people who know what you are going through, and who may can offer you support (both practical advice & moral support!). And, of course, there's always tea and cake.

Hammersmith Support Group (daytime)
3rd Monday of every month from 2.00pm - 3.30pm Our monthly support group meeting is for any adult who has experienced brain injury, as well as their family members and friends. It is run informally and is a great opportunity to meet others in similar situations. You will also have the opportunity of speaking to and sharing experiences with people who know what it can be like to live with the residual effects of a brain injury. As at 13 March 2020. Note regarding corona virus. Headway West London is following government guidelines which are continuing to evolve. As a precaution we have decided to cancel the March Daytime Support group meeting, though Penny our linkworker will be at the Atrium Café from 2.00 to 3.30 pm on the 16th March. You are welcome to come and have a cuppa, however if you are worried that your immunity is suppressed it is probably best that you don't come. We will confirm nearer the time about the April meeting scheduled for the 20th. Please see website and facebook for updates.
