Venue change!!
Due to essential repairs needing to be carried out at the Burnbank Centre, our Tuesday evening meetings have moved to Hillhouse and Earnock Community Centre for the time being. We're not sure how long this move is for, but we're still on every Tuesday, 6-8pm

We made a podcast! In collaboration with The Brainy Speech Therapist podcast, some of our members spoke about their experience of isolation and loneliness. This conversation was inspired by Headway's Action on Brain Injury Week.

Last night group members tried something new- we are going to have one session a month that's a "quiet night", where we'll practice some mindfulness meditation and focus on one person talking at a time.

For many people, a brain injury leads to difficulties with coping with noise. By trialling quiet nights we hope others will join us to still feel connected to others with brain injuries, but in a calmer environment. The remaining sessions through the month will still be lively and with lots of chatter!

We kicked off the first of these quiet nights by sitting quietly and comfortably while listening to The Lark Ascending- bringing in Spring and new beginnings 🎶

Looking forward to our meet-up this week, when Helen (and her new friend!) will provide an overview of the anatomy of the brain.
Join us every Tuesday, 6-8pm at the Burnbank Centre, Hamilton.

The head injury information days are always excellent and worth attending.

The Head injury information Directory is an online resource with information on local services across Scotland for anyone who has been affected or works in the field of acquired brain injury.
