SBIA PROGRAMS

CHAPTER SUPPORT GROUPS

With support groups, participants are able to socialize with others who understand the challenges of living with a brain injury. The support group provides an opportunity to make friends and connect with others. Many participants are able to learn new strategies to deal with challenges due to brain injury.

Saskatoon Chapter Support Group | Sherbrooke Community Centre | Every 3rd Thursday 7:00pm - 8:30pm (Monthly) Starting this January till May 2025.

DRUMMING GROUP

The Regina Chapter Association holds a Drumming Group weekly for brain injury survivors.  This group provides survivors with a wonderful opportunity to get together each week, receive support from others, share their experiences and have a great time!  Physical benefits of drumming may include an increase in mental alertness and muscle coordination as well as reducing blood pressure and heart rate. This group meets from September to May and there is limited space available.

BRAIN POWER HOUR

Brain Power Hour is a weekly exercise and walking group for survivors and supporters.  Participants are encouraged to set their own personal fitness goals at the beginning of the program and work towards them.  Walking groups provide survivors and their families a chance to get some exercise while socializing with a support network.  This program is designed to meet the needs of participants who have sustained a brain injury and experience cognitive, physical and/or social challenges when participating in community-based exercise.  The Saskatoon’s program runs September to May then continues outdoors for the summer from June to August.
