Service coordination

The Alberta Brain Injury Initiative (ABII) helps adults with acquired brain injury to live, work and participate in their communities. ABII is a network of agencies that assist survivors and their families in accessing supports from various programs and community resources across the province.

These agencies act as service coordinators who:

  • provide information about brain injury and the supports and services that are available
  • assess an individual’s needs
  • work with survivors, their families and community service providers to develop service plans and service agreements as needed
  • make referrals, where appropriate, for community supports and independent living skills development
  • assist survivors and their families to identify, apply for and coordinate benefits and services
