Education, Awareness and Support
[give_form id="1392"]
The Brain Injury Association of Peel and Halton (BIAPH) is a non-profit organization which advocates for the needs and provides information to survivors of Acquired Brain Injuries, their families and support network. We 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.
We envision BIAPH as a gateway for:
Resources, Prevention, Leadership, Support, and Inclusive Programs
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.
When BIAPH was initially formed, our organization primarily existed for the needs of families and survivors of brain injury in the Peel and Halton Regions.
However, as our organization is now growing, so is our support areas! With the transition to virtual programming during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen an increase in participation from individuals all across Ontario. As we move forward with our hybrid model for support group programs, BIAPH will continue to welcome and support individuals joining us from outside the Peel and Halton regions.
