Durham Region P.A.R.T.Y. Program - 2024 Final Report
During 2024 our program continued at Ajax Fire and Emergency Services before expanding to a larger facility, DCDSB's Pope Francis Centre in Oshawa, in order to host larger groups of students.
We welcomed additional presenters from Region of Durham Paramedic Services and Oshawa Fire Services.

Brain Injury Canada launches Intro to Brain Injury e-course for caregivers
This self-guided course is available to caregivers, including family caregivers, free of charge. It covers an introduction to brain injury from diagnosis to recovery (which is often life-long), and touches on important topics such as the role of caregivers in recovery; tools for managing challenging behaviours for the support and safety of loved ones; strategies for safely supporting additional cognitive, emotional, and physical effects; and the intersectional nature of brain injury, and how identity and society impact health and recovery.
