The theme of this year’s event was “A Synthesis of Systems: Working Together To Fill the Gaps“, with attendees including persons with brain injury and family members, health professionals and service providers, sponsors and others interested in this important topic. Other presentations during the day included the overdose crisis in British Columbia, identifying and filling gaps for treatment, better habits for brain health, disability justice, neurorehabilitation, organizational awareness in BC Corrections, and Kelowna’s Integrated Court.
June is brain injury awareness month, and BrainTrust Canada strives to reduce preventable brain injuries, and also to support and maximize the potential of those affected by acquired brain injury.
