Northern Brain Injury Association received funding for critical infrastructure, and to provide regional services, community development, brain injury education, injury prevention, as well as case management (direct and remote) and professional development.
Funding from the Brain Injury Alliance assisted the NBIA to provide community education events, develop educational videos, create family support materials and resources, provide education to health care providers, provide community health centres with information and materials to distribute, as well as supply public facilities (such as ski hills and skateparks) with injury prevention posters, handouts, etc. Funding also allowed the NBIA to expand outreach to sport communities, and provide successful programs and services to schools.
Because of the BC Government’s compassion and decisive action, and that of the Brain Injury Alliance, more people across Northern BC are getting the help that they so desperately need, regardless of how isolated or remote their community.
