Northern Brain Injury Association, Prince George, BC

The Northern Brain Injury Association was founded in 2002 in response to the lack of services that were available for Northern British Columbia survivors of brain injury, and their families. The NBIA was incorporated as a society in 2007, and became a registered charity in 2009.
It is the NBIA directors’ belief that the many geographical and climatic challenges faced by northern BC residents should not result in isolation or exclusion from services, family or community, so we provide creative and diverse responses to their unique challenges.
Today the Northern Brain Injury Association of British Columbia (NBIA) works to prevent brain injuries, provide recovering residents with support, and to facilitate full inclusion and citizenship within their community. We serve a geographic area that is approximately two thirds of the entire province of British Columbia, Canada.
We are committed to durable, long-term outcomes through a focus on comprehensive planning, the establishment of community support systems, and by connecting northern British Columbians with necessary brain injury education and support. Our programs and services are geared to support survivors, family and community members where they live, work and play, and to connect them with available services and resources as close to home as possible.
