Note this introduction. When I left the spinal injury unit, my neurology team said "we don't have a name for it. There's no treatment or therapy. Just go home and you'll get better." That was in August 2019 - an osteopath saved my life but I'm still trying to recover.

A group of brain injury organizations and advocates have released a joint statement, "Communicating about Brain Injury," aimed at improving how brain injuries are discussed and understood, including a new classification system for severity. biausa.org/wp-content/u...

Whitehorse, Yukon. Our Fall series of Concussion Cafe support group meetings begins on October 5th. If a brain injury of any kind is causing challenges in your life, there's no need to be embarrassed or struggle alone. One-on-one discussions are also available. Please reach out - we're here to help.

You're not alone. People living with brain injury and their families are sharing their personal stories with Brain Injury Canada to provide hope and support to people having similar experiences. braininjurycanada.ca/en/stories/

Neuroplasticity - the brain’s capacity to continue growing and evolving in response to life experiences - can be extremely important in recovering following a brain injury. www.psychologytoday.com/ca/basics/ne...

I was very pleased to see at least 2 of us from the Yukon in attendance.

Who am I? I'm a brain injury survivor, still trying to recover from an injury in August 2019 during a wilderness hike. I'm an active participant in Concussion Cafe Yukon, and will be taking training as a brain injury peer support worker in a few weeks. From 2022: explorenorthblog.com/a-glimpse-in...

Concussion Cafe Yukon is presently the main brain injury support resource in the Yukon. We have in-person meetings for several weeks during each Spring and Fall. www.facebook.com/ConcussionCa...
