Headway Kent Delivers Inspiring Presentation at the 12th Kent Brain Injury Forum

Last week, Headway Kent’s CEO, Jenny Walsh and Head of Operations, Hayley Cook, delivered a powerful and insightful presentation at the 12th Kent Brain Injury Forum, an event dedicated to improving understanding, research, and support for people affected by brain injury across the county.

A Voice for Brain Injury Survivors in Kent

Headway Kent's presentation shone a spotlight on the essential support we provides to acquired brain injury (ABI) survivors and their families. Their talk explored the challenges faced by those living with brain injury and highlighted the charity’s ongoing commitment to rehabilitation, advocacy, and community reintegration.

Headway Kent’s mission is to ensure every brain injury survivor in Kent receives the tailored support, compassion, and understanding they deserve. Through local programmes, outreach, and community partnerships, the organisation continues to make a real difference in people’s lives.

Expert Panel and Collaborative Discussion

In addition to the presentation, Headway Kent took part in the expert panel discussion, joining neuro consultants, researchers, and other specialist organisations from the brain injury sector. Together, they discussed the latest research findings, service challenges, and innovative approaches to supporting individuals with brain injuries in Kent and beyond.

All presentations were thought-provoking, providing fresh perspectives on brain injury care, rehabilitation strategies, and the importance of collaborative support networks.
