SUMMARY:HSABC Webinar: Brain Injury 101
DESCRIPTION:Geoff Sing, President of the BC Brain Injury Society will be 
 discussing the topic of Brain Injury and how it affects people, and how 
 we as frontline workers and staff can support recovery and care in the h
 omelessness services sector. He will be joined by a survivor of brain in
 jury who will be sharing their stories of navigating the system.\n\nInst
 ructor:\nGeoff has been working in the field of brain injury for the pas
 t 20 years. Presently, he is the Manager of Brain Injury Services with T
 he Cridge Centre for the Family. This program includes a continuum of re
 sidential programs, community support clients and several employment tra
 ining programs for survivors of a brain injury. He served on the steerin
 g committee for the Pacific Coast Brain Injury Conference for 15 years. 
 He was the chairperson for Advocacy Plus – a program that trained surv
 ivors to advocate for themselves. Geoff has a Masters of Administration 
 from the University of Victoria.\n\nAs a stereotypical survivor of a bra
 in injury (at 18 years of age he was in a serious car crash that had him
  in a coma for a number of days; as well he suffered several concussions
  in athletic pursuits) the field of brain injury is Geoff’s life and p
 assion. As an advocate, supporter or a “whatever it takes” proponent
 , Geoff’s goal for survivors of a brain injury and there loved ones is
  your goal – find and develop the best services possible and achieve t
 he best outcomes possible.
