At the Brain Injury Association of Peel and Halton, We Serve the Needs of Survivors of Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) and their Families
In 1986, BIAPH was founded to support individuals living with an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI).
Parents, spouses, and services providers saw a need for additional support, and came together to create BIAPH. These advocates were the driving force in the repatriation movement; an initiative that brought Ontarians receiving ABI services in the United States back to Ontario and to their families.
BIAPH advocates on behalf of our members, and provides information to survivors of ABI, their families, and support networks. We also facilitate measures to promote the prevention of brain injury, improve quality/care of life, provide community education, and conduct resource searches on behalf of our members.
Support Our Programs
With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have witnessed an increased need for social support across our community. In response, BIAPH is seeking to expand our support programs to reach more brain injury survivors and families. With your support, you’re helping us establish accessible support systems, where we can continue to make a difference in the lives of the families we serve.
