Borders Brain Injury Service Funding becoming more difficult to find A greater demand on our service What are we doing to make a difference? What are our service users doing to make a difference?

Borders Brain Injury Service Outreach Momentum's outreach programme in the Scottish Borders assists adults who have sustained brain injures to live independently and to re-integrate into their communities. We also support parents of children with head injury. The Community Rehabilitation Workers assist clients to manage the effects of their brain injury, providing one- to-one support and a range of information, including counselling and provides support to their families and carers. Momentum also provides a Consultant Neuropsychologist once a month to support the Borders Brain Injury Service.

Borders Brain Injury Service Two Support Groups one based in Berwickshire and the other in the Central Borders meet monthly and give clients the opportunity to meet other people with head injuries in their local communities or in our premises in Galashiels. The Social Evening takes place once a month in the Chaplaincy Centre at the Borders General Hospital. Entertainment includes: Guest speakers, slide shows, musical nights and various demonstrations. Heads You Win Course offered in partnership with Borders College, offers service users the opportunity to gain self- confidence, social integration and skills through various courses which include: Information Technology, Cookery, Numeracy and dealing with the effects of Head Injury.

Borders Brain Injury Service Centre - Based Following the involvement of a Momentum outreach worker and by referral from that worker, service users are offered a place in the Centre Based Programme. Centre-based activities aim to provide confidence building through acquisition of skills in achievable, staged units. Each session involves varied approaches in order to maintain service users’ engagement and to encourage different learning styles. The key aims of the service are various and inter-related: engendering a supportive environment amongst service users, increasing confidence and encouraging a positive outlook, improving cognitive skills, re- learning literacy skills, and gaining or re-gaining IT skills.

Employment Support Programme Supports service users find and sustain paid work, voluntary work, placements, work tasters, training and any educational courses, formal or informal. This programme is accessed through the outreach service. The Job Retention Programme works with Service Users to enable them to return to work following brain injury. By becoming involved at an early stage, we aim to help people break down the barriers that are preventing them from returning to work. We also provide support to employers, helping them to understand the needs of such employees and to offer practical solutions, which may enable them to return to work. This could include adaptations to the workplace or providing a support worker to assist employees with tasks they are unable to complete. Borders Brain Injury Service
