Learn More About Brain Injury Awareness Month
This month is Brain Injury Awareness Month across Canada! Valent Legal is proud to sponsor the incredible organization Brain Injury Canada and their new awareness campaign, Beyond the Injury. Brain Injury Canada is a national charitable organization focused on education, awareness, and advocacy for brain injury communities in Nova Scotia and across the country.
Every 3 minutes, a Canadian experiences a brain injury. In Canada, over 18,000 individuals experience hospitalization for an acquired brain injury every year. By 2031, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is projected to be one of Canada’s most common neurological conditions.
The physical, emotional, and financial repercussions of a brain injury can significantly affect those living with conditions and their families. By speaking up, sharing stories, and raising awareness about the impact of brain injuries, we can help affected Canadians receive better care, stronger support, and deeper understanding.
Brain Injury Canada will use the money they raise during 2025 Brain Injury Awareness Month to directly support:
- Brain Injury Resources: Donations made this month will help fund a new symptom management tool that aims to assist with the daily challenges faced by people living with brain injuries in the country.
- BRITE: Brain Injury and Teens: Brain Injury Canada’s BRITE program supports youth aged 13-18 living with brain injuries during an important stage of life. Your support will help BRITE provide tailored guidance and resources to help teens overcome the cognitive, emotional, and physical challenges they experience on a daily basis.
- Caregiver Support: Brain Injury Canada sponsors support programs for caregivers and family members of individuals living with brain injuries.
This June, help Valent Legal raise awareness and donations for millions of Canadians living with brain injury across the country. Through Beyond the Injury, you can sign up as an Awareness Advocate to collect donations that support Brain Injury Canada’s programs and resources. You can also donate directly to Brain Injury Canada to help provide resources to those living with acquired brain injury, their families, caregivers, and health care professionals.
