About the CBIAN courses

Brain Injury Canada is grateful to have received a Community Services Recovery Fund grant, which has allowed us to develop complimentary educational resources for brain injury associations. These courses will enable brain injury organizations to act proactively to modernize and adapt through supporting their staff, volunteers and boards of directors. Each course provides tangible learnings that can be implemented into organizational governance, program development, assessment and evaluation and improve the inclusivity of the organizations, as well as developing the skills of the individual learners.
