Brain Injury Speaks Releases the Final Report on the Long-Term Impacts of Acquired Brain Injury

OBIA wants to make sure you know about the tools and services available that make voting easy and accessible for all electors.

These webinars are specifically tailored for caregivers and survivors of acquired brain injury (ABI).

The Ontario Brain Injury Association (OBIA), in partnership with the Headway Homes Fund at the Niagara Community Foundation, distributes $5,000.00 annually from a fund created by Headway Homes (Niagara) Inc. to enhance the lives of people in a slow-to-recover state following a Brain Injury.

It is essential to recognize that post-injury challenges often extend beyond the physical and cognitive challenges of brain injury.

During COVID-19, OBIA remains committed to provide training for individuals working with people with brain injuries. This certificate course will now be accessible through a live online virtual classroom and will be interactive.

This Level Two course is designed to increase your understanding of the relationship between traumatic brain injury, substance misuse and mental health challenges

Do you have a personal story that you’d like to share with the world? If so, we’d love to hear from you!

In December of 2021, the Brain Injury Speaks Stakeholder Engagement Network of Ontario (with the Ontario Brain Injury Association) further explored the topic of Identity Change After ABI. Virtual focus groups with individuals who have sustained brain injuries were conducted. The purpose of these groups was to better understand experiences of identity change following brain injury and how it may impact different aspects of their lives.

We are excited to tell you about an opportunity to improve road safety in Ontario.
