Brain Injury Awareness Month

June is Brain Injury Awareness Month in Canada! 
 
Each year national, provincial, and local associations run campaigns to increase awareness about the prevalence of brain injury; the obstacles that exist for those with brain injury; and the need for more services and support at all stages of recovery. Brain injury affects over 165,000 Canadians per year and is often impacted by factors such as race, religion, environment, gender, and poverty.  Help us raise awareness for brain injury this June by following along with our campaign. Together, we can create a better world for the brain injury community in Canada.
Calendar of events for June's Brain Injury Awareness Month by NBIS. Activities include a social media contest, festivals, workshops, yoga, meetings, and an anniversary party at various Nanaimo locations to promote brain injury awareness.

Become a Monthly Donor 

Your support helps ensure brain injury survivors and their families have access to connection,
understanding, and ongoing support in our community. We know that life after brain injury isn’t a straight line. 
 
There are good days, hard days, and everything in between, and all of it matters.
 
This June, we invite you to join the Brainstrong Team, a community of monthly donors helping
ensure support is always there. Through monthly giving, members help ensure support is there
through it all, in group programs, peer support, education, and everyday moments of connection. 
 
The Brainstrong Team, because strength looks different every day.
