Concussion and brain injury are really common, and the right knowledge and support lead to better outcomes. At Headway, we connect people impacted by concussion and brain injury with information, education and support.

Headway NZ works with the strong network of organisations already serving Northland communities.

Our services:

• Information and advice: trusted advice, answers to questions, and connections to the right support in local communities, so no one navigates recovery alone.

This free service is here for individuals and whānau in Northland impacted by concussion and brain injury, so you don’t have to navigate the journey alone.  Please contact our Community Navigators on 09 520 4807 or info@headway.org.nz.
