The Community Brain Injury Program (CBIPCY) is a provincially-funded rehabilitation program, designed for children and youth with acquired brain injuries.

What We Do

The CBIPCY program provides funding and coordination of short-term, rehabilitation and support services. The goal is to assist the child or youth as they transition from hospital or rehabilitation centre to home, school, and community.  Services are provided in the home community, anywhere in BC.

Who Do We Serve

The program serves children and youth between the ages of  0 and 19 who have experienced an acquired brain injury within the last year and have acute rehabilitation needs.  An acquired brain injury may be caused by an accident, infection, tumour, stroke, or other cause.

Accessing Services 

Only those without third-party funding are eligible for services.  This means the individual is not in receipt of duplicate funding through third party sources including ICBC, Victim Assistance, or other private insurance coverage.

Referrals can be made by parents, community or medical professionals and faxed into the program at 604-451-5651.  They must be accompanied by medical documentation.
