This session was delivered as a webinar on Teams on Wednesday 23 July 2025

This session was delivered by Angela Cattermer and Charlotte Leask of local charity, Headway Nottingham.
The webinar hopes to help with the understanding of acquired brain injury (ABI) and the wide ranging and complex disabilities it can lead to. The presenters talked about the different struggles people face after ABI in their everyday lives, and how you might be able to support them
