Karen Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Hi Paul, I haven't personally had any dealings with Headway ...... but the feedback/experiences from other BTG members that have, has always been very positive. Wishing you the very best..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Hi Paul, Dee my hubby has had dealings with headway, he found them very helpful as did i. He attends a weekly goup when we are home and he was reluctant to go at first but now really enjoys it. He tells me they do all kinds of things there from memory games etc, but the thing he liked the most was talking to others in the same boat as himself. Take care now and hope headway goes well for you Poppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivien Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Hello Paul, I was in touch with Headway and they are very helpful and reassuring. Someone came to see me and talk to me about what happened and then I was asked to go to group meetings once a week but they were too far away! They still phone me to see how I am and offer advice about things that are bothering me. Hope this helps Vivien x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
