ABOUT BIST

At the Brain Injury Society of Toronto (BIST), we believe no one should face the journey of brain injury alone. Our mission is to support Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) survivors and their families through programs, services, and advocacy that empower them to lead thriving lives. We aim to build a community of hope and resilience that unmasks brain injury.

Our Mission

Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for people living with brain injuries by providing meaningful support services, raising awareness, and fostering a more inclusive and accessible community.

BIST provides free and accessible services, including support groups, peer support programming, wellness initiatives, workshops, and support services.  We are committed to creating a safe and inclusive space for our community to connect, socialize, and learn. Additionally, we actively support marginalized communities in our city through homelessness, poverty, and intimate partner violence initiatives. 

As an organization dedicated to advocacy, we prioritize collaboration to foster partnerships, engage in projects, and participate in committees, ensuring ABI survivors are represented and their voices are heard.
