Campbell River Head Injury Support Society received funding to cover critical expenses and the hiring of an Education/Prevention Outreach Worker.
The CRHISS new Education/Prevention Outreach Worker, made possible by funding from the Brain Injury Alliance, has been a huge help, and has allowed an increase in education and support for brain injury survivors, caregivers and families. This helps CRHISS continue to provide free services to survivors of a brain injury, so all can live productive and prosperous lives.
Staff met with a group of business managers to provide them with awareness about brain injury. After, they received a call from a gentleman who was there. He called to say, “Thank you for your presentation today. I was shocked to hear how a brain injury may still be affecting an employee who looks fully recovered. I will try to really work with him, and keep his memory issues in mind. I’ll also make sure that I haven’t over-loaded him with too many tasks, and/or, too much information.
We thank the Government of British Columbia for listening to our needs, and providing the Brain Injury Alliance with the resources to meet those needs.
