Headway is an Irish registered charity and an internationally accredited brain injury services organisation that supports adults (18+) who are affected by a brain injury, including stroke. We operate in centres in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and the Mid-West, Carlow and Tralee and provide a nationwide Information and Support Service. See our Services for more details.
We were founded in 1985 as a support group by families and interested professionals to address the needs of people with brain injuries and their carers and families. Since then, we have grown, and now provide a range of community-based rehabilitation support services and information for people affected by brain injury, whatever the severity of injury.
