Acquired Brain Injury Program

In May of 2004, Semiahmoo House Society was awarded the Acquired Brain Injury Day Program Contract from the Fraser Health Authority.  We offer a multi-faceted program for individuals with acquired brain injuries. 

What is ABI? How do we recognize an acquired brain injury? What are the signs, symptoms, and effects of ABI?  How long will it take to recover from an ABI?  Visit the Perspectives Network website for answers to these questions and more information on Acquired Brain Injury.

Semiahmoo House Society's Acquired Brain Injury Program includes:

• Both day and drop-in programs available to a wide spectrum of persons with an ABI.  The primary objectives will be socialization and recreation programs.  It includes:  opportunities for skills building, opportunities to access the community, volunteer or paid work experiences, counseling and support on an individual basis, and more.
• A Clubhouse - the participants ultimately decide the goals and objectives of the Clubhouse.  Staff are skilled in providing all of the components of the day and drop-in programs, and will focus on assisting participants to address issues chosen by participants. 
• A Life skills Program - this program focuses on specific life skills necessary in daily life, such as; menu planning, shopping, meal preparation, budgeting, money handling, personal hygiene, homemaker skills and more.
• A Community Kitchen
• Health and Fitness
• Respite
• Enclave programs
• Person Centred Planning (Essential Lifestyle Planning)
