The Brain Injury Alliance is a province wide organization in British Columbia composed of individuals and organizations working together to improve the quality of life for persons living with a brain injury, their families, and their communities.
The Brain Injury Alliance has only two functions; the acquisition of funding to support community non-profit brain injury associations and groups, and to provide Government with an unbiased peer driven mechanism for fair and accountable funding disbursement.
Brain Injury Alliance funding is making a positive impact on lives all across British Columbia. The marvelous programs and services provided by Alliance member agencies are transforming lives, decreasing costs to government, and helping families to cope with the changes. Communities are becoming more aware of what brain injury is, and most importantly, how to prevent it. Health professionals are being educated and trained to deal with brain injury, and indigenous communities are being empowered to better protect and serve their communities.
It is when you meet or read about the individuals in the “Stories” section of our website, like the success story about Guy, that the meaning of what we do now, and what we must continue to do in the future, becomes real.
The Alliance applauds Government’s investment in the brain injury community, and strives for a continuing commitment to ensure that individuals and families have the supports they need when facing the changes and challenges that come with brain injury.
Alliance funding helps British Columbians to get the assistance they need to move forward with their lives, putting them first in line to take advantage of an exciting future. Government’s support of the Brain Injury Alliance is a prime example of why British Columbia leads the nation in economic growth and social development.
“Brain injury is forever. In order to ensure cost-effective and efficacious, evidence-based and outcome-driven services, and considering the complex needs of persons with brain injury, a variety of sources for services and supports must exist at the local level. This will require integrated planning, and establishing and sustaining broader partnerships with other partners in the communities.”
Government of British Columbia, 2002
“The Alliance makes it possible for us to continue with this vital program (What’s Next Peer Support). This program creates the desire to make a difference in their lives and the lives of other peer supporters…with the tools to help them move forward.”
