Navigating the resources needed to help people THRIVE after brain injury can feel like being stuck in a never-ending maze of red tape.

This FREE three-hour workshop will offer keynote presentations from a provincial advocate specialist and legal expert with experience in brain injury.

Two smaller 45-minute group sessions will be offered following the keynotes, one designed specifically for survivors’ advocacy needs and questions, the other for family/friends, and ABI professionals.
