Brain Injury Information from Sask. North Acquired Brain Injury Services

Following a brain injury, many survivors, families & caregivers look for additional information to help them better understand the effects of brain injury.

Access to the internet has allowed individuals to have a huge variety of information at their fingertips.  The sheer volume of web-sites and information can be overwhelming.  The following are some sites that our clients/families have found helpful.
