Our Education Coordinator Shay is very excited to be co-chairing a new committee on concussion that was created by the TRU Brain Health Coalition.

Shay and the other co-chair Mary, a TRU nursing student, will be working with the committee, which includes many big brains who are TRU professors, doctors, health practitioners, and survivors, to help address gaps in concussion support across Kamloops. KBIA is very excited to be a part of this initiative as cross-sector collaboration is key when it comes to helping survivors!

Education work like this is very important to us and our board; however, funding grants for it can be hard to receive. Our private donations and fundraising money goes towards initiatives like this and many more. Reach out if you would like to learn more and donate.

It is that time of year again! Aren't you excited? That is right, police road blocks for impaired driving are back! And that means drinking, smoking or playing on your phone. So play it smart, drive safe and feel free to donate to KBIA for the friendly reminder...😁

You may recognize Ab, one of our front desk volunteers extraordinaire. This week Ab and our education coordinator Shay had a great conversation about how important friends & family support is to survivors.

Ab says "Friends and family play a pivotal role in support. For example, my family patiently keeps on reminding me to record everything and put appointments and reminders in my phone. If I am feeling down, they perk me up by telling me how far I've come. Celebrating little achievements is very helpful. When it's a hidden injury it's difficult to explain to people what you're going through. Patience is easier said than done but goes a long way."

While supporting survivors, friends and family sometimes need their own support! Our friends & family support group runs once a month on the 2nd Wednesday from 530-630pm. If you or someone you know is supporting a brain injury survivor and is interested in coming to the group, please email education@kbia.ca or give us a call at 250-372-1799.
