Support Groups / Teleconferencing

There are a number of support groups in Northern British Columbia. If you do not have a local support group in your area, you are invited to join an existing support group via teleconferencing. Most of these groups provide peer support and information that is useful to those with brain injuries. Some groups are for survivors and others are for family and friends of survivors.

NBIA is in the process of working with communities around the north to establish community support groups where needed. If you know of anyone who is interested in this process please contact NBIA at 1-866-979-HOPE (4673) or 1-250-562-4673.
