A New Partnership to Support People with Brain Injuries
Headway Devon, a local charity based in Exeter, specializes in helping individuals rehabilitate from head injuries.

You've spent months in hospital, in ICU, in rehabilitation with a team of clinicians around you and suddenly you're all alone.They may not fully understand their condition, and some may be navigating a legal battle for compensation without guidance.
