🧠 Youth Reconnect Transition Program (yRTP)

Our upcoming yRTP at the Southern Hub is now commencing Wednesday 4 February!

Are you a young adult (up to your 30s) with an acquired brain injury — or supporting someone who is? BISA’s Youth Reconnect Transition Program (yRTP) is all about connection, learning, and moving forward together.

This free 10-week group program, led by a Brain Injury SA Specialist Psychologist, brings young people together to share experiences, learn more about brain recovery, and explore what life after brain injury can look like.

You’ll also be supported by BISA Peer Mentors, who share real-life insights from their own recovery journeys.

What you’ll explore:
🧠 Learning about the brain and neuroplasticity
🧠 Everyday challenges after brain injury — and strategies that may help
🧠 Identity, relationships and what matters to you
🧠 Mental health, wellbeing and hopes for the future

✨ yRTP groups run throughout the year across our City, South and North hubs — and each weekly session wraps up with a light lunch, giving everyone time to connect and chat.

Services + Support for people with ABI in South Australia

Brain Injury SA is now recognised and funded as the peak body in South Australia for people with an acquired brain injury (ABI), and those who care for them. It is a member-based organisation, which engages with people with an ABI and their families, service providers, ABI specialists, and people and agencies that are interested in the impact of ABI in South Australia. Brain Injury SA is governed by a volunteer Board, comprised of people with a range of backgrounds and skills that are committed to BINSA’s aims and objectives. The Board is responsible for BINSA’s strategic directions and operational priorities. The day to day operational and financial management of Brain Injury SA is the responsibility of the Executive Officer, Liz Forsyth, supported by a team of highly qualified and experienced staff and the many wonderful volunteers who contribute to every area of Brain Injury SA’s operation and without whom Brain Injury SA would be unable to complete its valuable work.

Our ultimate goal is to help people embrace life after ABI.
