Brain Care Centre offers a range of services for those impacted by concussion or mild traumatic brain injury. Our program was involved in a pilot research project through the University of Alberta and we aim to help individuals manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life after injury.
Most concussions resolve within a 3-month time period, with approximately 10-15% of the population experiencing symptoms beyond that time period. Each person is unique and so will their experience with concussion recovery.
Our Concussion Program relies on the generosity of donors to sustain it. We are working to raise awareness and funds in order to reduce our waitlist, which, at times, can be up to one year long. Learn more about our Campaign for Concussion care.
