What Do We Do?

We are Saskatchewan Health Authority health educators employed in a unique partnership. We strive to engage and support community efforts in reducing injuries; and enhance safety awareness through the provision of injury prevention, brain function & brain injury education, information & resources.

Contact Us About:

We developed this program to make brain education easy to understand and deliver. We’ll coordinate with you to bring this fun “WALK” through the brain to your school or community . Kindergarten to grade 6 students rotate through 10 interactive stations that teach brain function and how to keep the brain safe & healthy.

We offer, to grades 4-6 students, Parachute Canada’s interactive neuroscience in-class presentation. Students learn brain anatomy, basic neuroscience vocabulary, and why it’s important to protect the brain & spinal cord. Information will enhance brain knowledge and provide simple injury prevention strategies. *
