3 years our Twitter account has been running, 9 years the group has been gathering. With Covid restrictions calming down, the group is looking for volunteers to help us get back together. If you can help us, get in touch, we need your support to support those with brain injury.

World Mental Health Day on the 10th Oct
Do you realise that there has not been a time during our lifetimes, outside of war, where the pressures have been so great.

Remember, even those who appear strong have been affected. We are all different inside #WMHD2020

Dedicated staff are continuing to call those most at risk from coronavirus (who've been asked to 'shield' by Scot Govt). They're offering advice & support so please don't be alarmed if you get a call. More info on shielding & help for vulnerable people: https://t.co/cfH1kOgXYA

Brain injury survivors may find it harder to manage and regulate stress due to the effects of their injury, while carers may find it difficult to effectively manage stress when faced with the pressures of supporting their loved one.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
We will be postponing this year's @headinjuryinfo days as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak. We are disappointed to have to delay the event but we take the health and wellbeing of all who may attend very seriously and do not want to put anyone at risk.

@TheMistressRox @NicolaSturgeon Yep, Rugby was the sport where fans could all stand together no matter what the team and enjoy the Banter. Not when the politics stir up this kind of mess. What a shame that one agenda over powers the real issues for some.

[Headway Borders @HeadwayBorders]

Our very own @RoganGrant put in a poem about #HeadInjury and managed to win us a massive £200 to help with supporting our group. Great thanks to @DigbyBrownCSR for putting up such generosity for those affected by ABI.

This month we have been meeting the winners of our Christmas Card & Calendar competition who were unable to attend the awards ceremony in December. Well done to Amanda from the Centre for Brain Injury Rehabilitation, Stuart from #HeadwayFalkirk and Rogan from @HeadwayBorders

This account liked a political statement earlier, it was in error. We would like to state clearly that Headway Borders has no political preferences or views. We do not support or endorse any agendas of any party's. We can only apologise if this error has given that impression.

@AlastairWhite10 @UdallAbbie Might have to do that in the Borders too 👍
