When it comes to brain injury… we get it!
We have been supporting the Hunter, Port Stephens and Central Coast region since 1987.
Our difference is our expertise. Headstart is a specialist service supporting the choices and independence of people with an acquired brain injury (ABI).
Brain injury is complex and can challenge every aspect of your life - movement, talking, thinking and feeling. Even though every person might be affected differently, we understand brain injury, the barriers and the invisible nature of the injury.
Soccer legend Craig Johnston is Headstart’s newest ambassador.
We understand that when a brain injury happens to someone their families are deeply impacted.
We support some amazing people! Watch more of their unique stories.
Our Approach:
1. Whatever it takes - we strive to find creative solutions that suit you.
2. Find your strengths - discover your resilience, confidence and "can do’s".
3. Reframe the challenge - sometimes people get stuck, and we help to look at a problem from a different angle.
4. Learning together - believing in trial and error everyday - what works for you, and what may not.
5. Always be growing - getting back on track may seem a far off dream. We join your journey to a place where brain injury doesn't define you, but your achievements and successes do.
6. Create an environment - where you find inspiration to dream more, do more in a way that suits you, your life and choices.
