I've taken some time off from podcasting this summer, but as the 20th anniversary of my brain injury approached I found myself wanting to do another episode! Hence episode 162 with Pam Prewett and the Victoria Brain Injury Society (VBIS), Victoria, B.C., Canada. It is where I was doing my Masters in Public Administration (MPA) when I was in a nasty bike crash that put me in a coma for two weeks and resulted in a severe brain injury - as discussed in episode 100 and in my ebook, Detour.
I encourage everyone, whether you're in B.C. or not, to check out the VBIS website and, if you're around Victoria, to drop in and hear about all of the incredible services they provide for brain injury survivors and caregivers. It is very impressive!
We also talked about the importance of funding for brain injury associations! The difficulty of garnering funding and resources without awareness in order to raise awareness! As brain injury is an invisible and, dare I say, silent injury, raising awareness is made that much harder!
