The Nanaimo Brain Injury Society is pleased to offer our UNDERSTANDING BRAIN INJURY public education session.

Please join us for an engaging presentation and discussion about the brain, what happens after a brain injury (including stroke), and what can help with recovery. There will be opportunities to ask questions, meet others with similar experiences and get information on helpful resources.

This event is free. RSVP appreciated. The Nanaimo Brain Injury Society is a registered non profit society and registered charitable organization. We are a progressive society providing support, education and rehabilitation to people living with brain injury since 1988.

Understanding Brain Injury is presented by Nanaimo Brain Injury Society's innovative Executive Director, Mark Busby. Originally from Great Britain, Mark has spent the past twenty three years working in the brain injury field applying his skills as a community educator, mentor and leader. A decade ago, after spending two years with the Voluntary Service Overseas in Indonesia, Mark became particularly interested in community development and the different ways people transform themselves through adversity. Mark is deeply moved by people’s personal experience of brain injury, and the many subtle (and not so subtle) ways people create meaning from these personal experiences.
