Register to hear first-hand the recent Canada-wide environmental scan of identified best practices to serve individuals who are living with a brain injury and who are also experiencing mental health and/or addiction challenges.

Real Conversations Leading to Real Solutions.
4 Virtual Events. Each with a specific focus and goal. We are looking to bridge the gaps in services for mental health, addictions, and brain injury throughout the province to inspire real change.
We want to open the conversation to see what is working provincially, what isn’t working, and where do we need to shift. What are the next steps to integrating services? Your input is needed!
