About Us

The Brain Injury Association of Waterloo-Wellington (BIAWW) is a registered not-for-profit charity that provides support, advocacy, and programs to survivors of acquired brain injury (ABI) and educational programs to the children and youth in the communities of Waterloo Region and Wellington County.

We provide resources on how to access community resources such as legal, rehabilitation, health care, work re-entry, school re-entry and community services. We make available information on concussion and acquired brain injury to survivors and their caregivers.
We offer a community prevention program called "Lidz on Kidz" which allows us to visit area schools and minor sport leagues to promote wearing the gear and playing safe with the proper helmet.
We provide a caregivers support group called "Care to Share" where caregivers can speak with their peers to gain support and develop friendships.

Mission

To give support, hope and answers to survivors of ABI.

Vision

To be recognized as pioneers in meeting the needs of survivors and their caregivers and setting the standard for innovative program delivery, education and prevention of ABI.
