Providing support & rehabilitation to people with acquired brain injuries in Cornwall
We meet at the Oasis Centre in Lostwithiel on Wednesdays.
The aim of our charity is to help the attendees increase their mental and emotional well being, relieve stress and isolation and encourage physical rehabilitation; by providing activities and support, a drop-in centre for service users and their carers and families, home and hospital visits and telephone and online support.
At our centres, a cognitive and behavioural assessment is completed and an individually tailored action plan is created, which is kept under review.
A Service User led programme of activities with goal setting is planned.
Where appropriate input from friends, family and carers who can also give much-needed support.
Problems encountered following a brain injury:
High partnership/family breakdown
Loss of income
Children’s instability
Social isolation
Increased drug and alcohol abuse
Depression and loss of confidence
Physical, emotional and mental problems
Potential downward spiral
