I really want to thank and acknowledge the people we serve, their families and friends, and our incredible employees and volunteers for their compassion, kindness, creativity and trust. The unwavering dedication of everyone at NBIS to ensure people affected by acquired brain injury are supported and connected has given me unending amounts of hope and gratitude.

The Journey Ahead: The Journey Continues

Recovery is a process. The journey for each person will be different. What a person needs today may be different than what they need in six months, one year, or ten years from now. NBIS Peer Support Volunteer Hayden Bell sits down with brainstreams.ca to talk about his journey.

What People Say

About NBIS

“We really appreciate the online counselling groups and all the other online education talks.”

“Your agency made such a huge difference in my life and the life of my family. After my aneurysm, I was completely unprepared for what my life would look like. NBIS was there with information, counselling and a support group for me to attend.”

“I always felt so welcome in the group. I was with people who knew how I felt. They truly understood my challenges. They helped me get back on track. Staff were great about always checking in with me to see how I was doing, and still are. I don’t know what I would do without you guys”.

“ I needed to do something to fill my life so I volunteered for NBIS. That was the start of it. Everybody’s injury is different. That’s why NBIS is a good first step, they can help you from there. It’s been a great journey so far.”
