NABIS Family Support Project

In the Community

In early 1990, after over one year of investigation and in keeping with its three-year focus on the family, the League selected the Northern Alberta Brain Injury Society (NABIS) Family Support Project.

The 1990–91 committee hired a part-time project coordinator and undertook an extensive needs assessment of the families of brain-injured individuals. This led to the development of a report that provided NABIS with a wealth of information about its members, as well as a powerful advocacy tool.

The report provided a set of recommendations from which the 1991–92 committee developed an action plan for the development of a new public awareness poster for NABIS. During this year, NABIS itself underwent a major internal reevaluation and restructuring.

The 1992–93 committee developed the new poster with NABIS and coordinated the distribution of 2,000 posters throughout the Edmonton area—from hospitals and health care facilities to schools, churches and firehalls.

The committee then developed a project evaluation tool that included input from all past and present committee members. The resulting report was presented to NABIS and the League. The turnover also included a continual maintenance report to assist NABIS in any future mailouts of this kind.
