SARBI stands for the Saskatchewan Assocation for the Rehabilitation of the Brain Injured. There are two locations in Saskatchewan – one in Saskatoon and one in Regina. The goal of SARBI is to enhance the quality of life for ABI survivors by providing programs and services to help them adjust to their lifestyle changes.

What is Acquired Brain Injury?

Acquired brain injury occurs when the brain becomes damaged because of an event that happened sometime after birth. It is not an acquired injury if the survivor is injured at birth. The damage must be a result of an injury or an illness, but not an illness that degenerates with time, such as Alzheimer’s disease or multiple sclerosis.

Examples of acquired brain injury include:

• trauma to the brain, such as a blow to the head or hitting one’s head
• brain infections, such as meningitis and encephalitis
• brain tumours
• lack of oxygen such as an injury caused by a near-drowning incident
• strokes
• violent shaking, such as whiplash injuries or Shaken Baby Syndrome

Because each survivor recovers differently, the long-term effects of ABI are difficult to predict. The effects will be different for each person and can range from mild to severe. The severity of the injury is a good predictor of recovery. Generally the more severe the injury, the less likely it is that the survivor will return to normal.
