Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Partnership Project

Every year in our province, about 2,200 people sustain an acquired brain injury (ABI). Some of the most common causes for this injury are motor vehicle collisions, strokes, falls and aneurysms. About 150 of the people injured each year will need multiple services and lifetime supports.

The Acquired Brain Injury Partnership Project is an innovative partnership between SGI and Saskatchewan Health that is recognized around the world. The partnership develops and implements services and supports for persons with acquired brain injuries and their families.

Our goal is to provide individual and family support to people with acquired brain injury so that they may live successfully in their communities with improved quality of life.

There are currently 40 community-based programs that serve Saskatchewan residents.
