Canadian Charter of Rights for People with Brain Injury
In partnership with the CGB Centre for Traumatic Life Losses, we are pleased to share the Canadian Charter of Rights for People with Brain Injury.
The purpose of this charter is to clearly outline, for people with brain injury, their families, caregivers, and care providers their inherent and unique rights to care and services.
This charter can be used by individuals and families to empower themselves when seeking care, by providers as principles for care, by others to educate the public and by policy makers to advocate for needed, respectful and accessible care and services.
To learn more, or to print letter size and rack card versions of the charter, see our blog post here.
The Journey Ahead
We are here to assist you and your family in your journey of recovery and rehabilitation.
Our section, The Journey Ahead, a fresh addition to Brainstreams was made possible by the generous support of ICBC.
This space is dedicated to survivors, family members, friends, and caregivers, offering insights into the world of brain injury. Explore resources, discover suitable supports, and access information on additional services, funding options, and community resources.
Join us on this new adventure—dive into The Journey Ahead and share your thoughts with us!
