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

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. 

In 2021, the Brain Injury Speaks Network conducted virtual focus groups. The purpose of these groups was to understand the lived experience of social isolation, learn more about why it occurs after brain injury and what people can do to reduce the risk of experiencing social isolation.  We are so grateful to the Brain Injury Speaks members who participated in these focus groups and shared their experiences with social isolation.
