South Okanagan Similkameen Brain Injury Society Grateful To The Alliance

South Okanagan Similkameen Brain Injury Society is very grateful to be the recipient of funds from the Brain Injury Alliance and the Government of British Columbia.

The funds will be used to replace and/or upgrade our aging computers to be more compatible with software needed to run current computer applications. This will have a significant impact on our ability to work effectively with clients and to track and record the progress of case plans of people living with a brain injury.

In addition we will provide assistance to our Brain Injury clients as they begin to seek employment in the community. We will offer vocational support services to clients so they can achieve ongoing paid employment. The part time support worker will engage with both the employer and the client to manage work schedules and assist the client to ensure they are able to attend the shifts they are scheduled for.

The support will include advocacy with the employer, support to understand the scope of the work and skill building for timely attendance at work.
