Transitions is a new outreach programme offering support to people with a brain injury and their families throughout Grampian, delivered by Momentum in partnership with the Brain Injury Grampian (BIG) group, following the award of £167,000 from The Big Lottery Fund.
By bridging the gap between hospital discharge and rehabilitation programmes such as those already offered by Momentum, Transitions aims to reduce the isolation often felt by people with a brain injury, particularly those living in remote rural areas.
The programme's two community workers will work throughout Grampian, setting up a support network for both people with a brain injury and their families and carers, helping them to reintegrate into their communities and ultimately helping them move towards a more independent future.
Transitions is also supported by NHS Grampian and by local authorities in Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Moray.
