Brain Injury Services
Redesigning Lives to Achieve Maximum Potential
The Cridge Centre for the Family has been providing brain injury services since 1991. We are committed to providing supportive services for survivors of brain injury in Greater Victoria that provide a continuum of care, support, and opportunity. We strive to support survivors in redesigning their lives to achieve their maximum potential.
Statistics show that brain injury increases an individual’s risk of poverty, experiencing homelessness, addiction and involvement with the justice system. Survivors experience a high degree of loss – specifically, a loss of self. Their grief increases their chances of developing challenges with their mental health through their healing journey.
The Cridge Brain Injury Services works with survivors to reach their maximum potential by providing one-on-one support focused on activities of daily living and meaningful community engagement. The purpose is to support their independence and connection to their community. We have successfully worked with BI survivors for the past 25 years, helping them to reintegrate into society and supporting them to live healthy and productive lives.
Want to learn more about life with a brain injury? Time To Talk Traumatic Brain Injury is podcast produced by brain injury survivors. The podcast aims to facilitate conversations, answer questions, and share first-hand experiences and knowledge about brain injury. Each week, brain injury survivors discuss their challenges, share useful coping strategies, and create a supportive and safe space for listeners. Peer participation is encouraged.
