What we do
The Brain Injury Alliance has only two functions; the acquisition of funding to support community non-profit brain injury associations and groups, and to provide Government with an unbiased peer driven mechanism for fair and accountable funding disbursement.
Brain Injury Alliance funding is making a positive impact on lives all across British Columbia. The marvelous programs and services provided by Alliance member agencies are transforming lives, decreasing costs to government, and helping families to cope with the changes. Communities are becoming more aware of what brain injury is, and most importantly, how to prevent it. Health professionals are being educated and trained to deal with brain injury, and indigenous communities are being empowered to better protect and serve their communities.
