Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Services

Condition Specific Support

Provided by Fraser Health

Provides education and support to persons with a mild-severe brain injury.
The ABI program works with people who have experienced brain injuries after birth – known as acquired brain injuries or ABI. They can result from:
  • Medical problems or diseases, such as the brain not getting enough oxygen, a tumor, brain aneurysm, infection or a stroke. This is also known as a non-traumatic brain injury. Or
  • Traumatic injuries, such as car accidents, falls, assaults or sports-related injury.
Provides various services including:
  • Community Support and Case Management: Case managers work with clients living in their homes. They help with organizing routines, safety, navigating health services and more. This approach is tailored to the individual.
  • Day Programs: Offers activities and therapies to improve thinking and physical abilities. These programs run during the day and provide opportunities to meet others with acquired brain injuries.
  • Specialized ABI Community Beds: Different care levels are available for clients with moderate to severe brain injuries. Settings include small facilities, group homes, assisted living and supported apartment programs. Considerations for placement include personal care requirements, behaviour, cognition, rehabilitation needs and safety awareness.


Available to individuals with a brain injury acquired after birth and residing in the Fraser Health Authority region. Clients can be referred by a physician, health care provider, family member, or friend. Self-referrals are also accepted. Please send completed referral form via mail or fax.

  • Needing help with daily activities and staying independent in the community.
