The Association would like to raise awareness regarding vulnerability of the brain and strategies to prevent brain injuries.
The Association does work with the community in various ways such as school presentations, display booths and awareness days. The Association also hosts workshops & conferences on topics such as Automobile legislation changes, sport injuries and brain injury prevention.
If you would like us to give your workplace or organization a presentation, please contact the Brain Injury office at 670-0200 or email braininjurysudbury@bellnet.ca
