For many people, Access is the first step towards living independently following a brain injury.

Through centre and community-based training, Access staff assist people to increase their independence and develop valuable skills.

Access is flexible and can be full or part-time. By improving confidence and developing individual strengths and abilities, staff help clients to identify strategies which will help them to move towards work. This could range from in-house pre-vocational training to supported volunteer work in the community.

The key elements of the programme are:

• Initial assessment
  
• Rehabilitation and training
  
• Education regarding brain injury
  
• Helping clients play an active role in the community
  
• Outdoor experience (team building skills)

Clients work together with staff on areas like communication difficulties, anger management and loss of confidence. Through a strong local network of support we are able to assist clients to engage with and become active citizens in their community. Some Access clients may progress to Momentum's Pathways programme, which helps them to gain they skills they need to return to work. Others will go on to further education or undertake volunteer work.
