Brain Injury Association of Ottawa Valley

Brain injuries aren’t always visible, but their impact is real every single day.

Behind every story is resilience, frustration, strength, and courage that often goes unseen.

We’re listening. What’s something you wish more people understood?

💬 Share your experience below. Your voice could help someone feel less alone.

Caring for someone after a brain injury can feel overwhelming and isolating, even when you’re doing your best every day.

You don’t have to go through it alone.

Our Family Support Group is a safe space to connect, share experiences, and get both practical and emotional support from people who understand.

If you’re always showing up for others, this is a place for you too.

Did you know that 80 to 90% of all traumatic brain injuries are classified as mild? The word “mild” can be misleading. Recovery is often complex and can take months or even years, with each person’s journey being unique.

At BIAOV, we are here to support you every step of the way, across the Ottawa Valley and beyond.
