Homelessness & Brain Injury
Headwise have worked collaboratively on a research project with Headway Birmingham & Solihull to explore the links between brain injury and homelessness. Previous research has highlighted that a significant number of those who sleep on our streets have a brain injury, but there is much more to learn about the reasons behind this.
Headwise and Headway launched a pilot neurocase management service for homeless adults with a brain injury which aimed to evaluate the need for psychologically informed services to promote social inclusion.
The first paper “Homelessness and Head Injury: Health, well-being and social integration in referrals to a neurocase management service” focuses on the initial cohort referred to the service and their complex medical, psychological and social factors affecting this population specifically.

A follow up paper is currently being produced that will evaluate the interventions received, outcomes achieved, and a discussion of the challenges encountered in providing this service.
