(Zoom link will be shared with confirmed attendees on June 8)
Please note this session will not be recorded. We encourage you to attend live to take part in the discussion.
Appointed by David Eby, Dr. Vigo plays a key role in strengthening the province’s response to complex and overlapping challenges in mental health, substance use, and neurological conditions.
This session will explore Dr. Vigo’s approach to improving care for individuals experiencing severe mental illness, substance use, and acquired brain injury, with a focus on how data, evidence, and lived experience are shaping current and emerging policy directions in British Columbia.
Participants will gain insight into:
- How provincial strategies are addressing the intersection of brain injury, mental health, and toxic drug exposure
- Key priorities and considerations guiding system improvement efforts
- Opportunities for alignment, collaboration, and more coordinated care pathways
The session will include a presentation followed by short, moderated discussion.
To support a thoughtful and productive conversation, participants are invited to submit questions in advance to executivedirector@bcbia.org by June 3, 2026. These questions will be forwarded in advance to Dr. Vigo to help inform the discussion and ensure a range of perspectives are reflected.
Held during Brain Injury Awareness Month, this event is part of a broader effort to strengthen understanding, dialogue, and coordination across sectors supporting individuals affected by brain injury in British Columbia.
We look forward to having you join us.
