ABI Survivors & Families

If you or someone you care about has an acquired brain injury, contact an ABI Outreach Team or an ABI Regional Coordinator located closest to you for more information on what services we can offer you.

In addition to the outreach teams, regional co-ordinators, and education and prevention coordinators, the Partnership funds 25 community programs that serve survivors of brain injury. To find the program best suited to your situation, contact your Regional ABI Coordinator or Outreach Team.
