Returning to work after a major trauma can be a complex, difficult decision. Pain management, ongoing treatment, psychological recovery and financial problems all add to making the right decision. We are hands-on help. @TNLComFund

Housing is often a concern for major trauma patients particularly if they were homeless or had no permanent home prior to injury. Our service can help with referrals for temporary housing upon leaving hospital.

Great result for one of our major trauma patients 11 months post accident. From zero points and no award, to an award of PIP daily living at a tribunal today. Providing financial stability to help cope during rehabilitation 💙👏👏
Good work @bamber_liz

We see patients who have severe mental health problems before and after their major trauma injury.
Would you know how to speak to a person contemplating suicide?
A good resource and training course online here: relias.co.uk/hubfs/ZSA-FullT…

Watching the One Show tonight about male suicide. ‘Ask your friends if they are ok, then ask if they are ok again’.
Many MT patients are suicide attempts that have failed and they have been saved and need our help, everyone’s help. 💙 @BBCTheOneShow

Our face to face service for MT patients is virtual but our emergency fund awards can be delivered to the ward door. They include essential clothing for patients, toiletries and communication aids. Contact us 07557123493 or mtpss@headwayprestonandchorley.org.uk

Supporting a MT patient today with employment law advice after being furloughed while signed off unfit for work. Complex and open to discussion with the employer for the best financial remedy for the patient.
