8:30 AM to 12:30 PM

An interactive morning of education and discussion. No charge. Space is limited. Register to secure your seat: https://journeyafterabi.eventbrite.ca

From concussion to stroke, acquired brain injury changes lives. People with acquired brain injuries face significant transitions, from hospital to home or from who they were to who they are now. These transitions have a huge impact on the everyday lives of survivors, as well as their family and friends. Join the discussion, learn what reintegration of the "new normal" means, identify the gaps in services and be the change that you would like to see by forming alliances with people with lived experience, healthcare and service providers.

Registration and refreshments at 8:30am. Opening remarks at 9:00am.

Speakers: People with Lived Experience - Trevor and Debbie Greene - Bill McCracken - Erin Hemmens Healthcare and Service Providers - Wendy Johnstone (Gerontologist) - Briar Shaw (Occupational Therapist)

Event partners: Nanaimo Brain Injury Society March of Dimes Canada Island Health BC Support Unit - Island Centre Vancouver Island University People First Media
