The Brain Injury Association of Niagara will attempt to maximize the quality of life for individuals and families living with the effects of an acquired brain injury by:

  • Providing information regarding services, treatment and rehabilitation.

  • Connecting with other community services in order to provide a link for our members.

  • Promoting recreation and leisure activities for members and their families.

  • Supporting members through our Friends Helping Friends peer support group. Off-site meetings are held monthly in Niagara Falls and Welland, and weekly in St. Catharines. There is also an on-site monthly minor brain injury group.

  • Providing a monthly support group for spouses of survivors with ABI.

  • Providing family support through informational meetings.

  • Providing a quarterly newsletter for our members.

  • Advocating on behalf of the individual and their family.

Beyond the above services which are consumer driven, BIAN attempts to liaise with the community by:

  • Providing educational information regarding prevention through our annual symposium, health care agencies and community groups.
