The Concise Version:

BIAN is committed to assisting individuals
living with the effects of acquired brain injury
to improve their potential and lead fuller lives.

The Verbose Version:

BIAN will, to the best of its ability:

• provide support to individuals living with the effects of an acquired brain injury, their families and/or caregivers within the Nipissing District;

• promote self-direction and facilitate opportunities for meaningful community living;

• participate in partnerships to foster ongoing dialogue with the individual and their support network.

Our Philosophy

The provision of support is based
on the following beliefs:

• each individual is a unique adult and is deserving of respect and dignity;

• support should be flexible, individualized and reflective of choices, abilities and existing support networks;

• choice often involves some elements of risk. Where possible, individuals will be permitted to experience the result of their choices to the extent that they are able;

• independence is a dynamic process of accessing people and services as challanges and successes change.
