Would you like to get creative, share ideas and meet other Headway members?

Monthly online creative writing sessions for Headway members will take place throughout 2027, providing a friendly and relaxed space to explore your creativity, try something new, and have fun with words.

Each month will have a different theme, with activities including writing short stories, poems, sharing memories and using your imagination. Whether you love writing already or have never tried it before, everyone is welcome!

When: The fourth Tuesday of each month
Time: 2.00–3.00pm
Where: Online via Teams

The sessions will be relaxed and supportive, with simple prompts and activities to help get your ideas flowing. There’s absolutely no pressure to share what you write, and you can take part in whatever way feels comfortable for you.

Creative writing can be a lovely way to express yourself, build confidence, explore memories and connect with others.

If you’re interested in joining, please email [email protected]

Further details about joining the online sessions will be shared with those who would like to take part.

We’d love to see you there, so why not give it a go? No experience needed – just bring yourself and your imagination!

A quick reminder for the 'Your Space' online session taking place next week on Tuesday 27th October at 2pm, featuring Consultant Neuropsychologist Dr Rodger Weddell...

Topic: Understanding traumas arising from brain injury and things that we know tend to resolve them.

Rodger will begin with some thoughts on the topic, followed by a friendly group discussion where people can share their experiences, challenges and ideas, if they would like to.

This is a safe and supportive space where you can listen, join in, or simply be there with others who understand. You are never expected to share more than you feel comfortable with.

On World Menopause Day, we wanted to share with you that research has found that menopausal women with traumatic brain injury (TBI) can experience symptoms to a greater degree than menopausal women without TBI.

Menopause may therefore worsen the experience of these issues among women after brain injury, but research in this area is limited at the moment.

For tips on coping with menopause after brain injury, please visit… https://www.headway.org.uk/about-brain-injury/individuals/brain-injury-and-me/menopause-after-brain-injury/

The number of people surviving brain injury is increasing over time, and that means that more women with brain injury are living to the age when menopause will typically begin. In this feature, we take a look at menopause and how the experience of it can be impacted by a history of brain injury.
