The purpose of this charter is to clearly outline, for people with brain injury, their families, caregivers, and care providers their inherent and unique rights to care and services.
This charter can be used by individuals and families to empower themselves when seeking care, by providers as principles for care, by others to educate the public and by policy makers to advocate for needed, respectful and accessible care and services.
This charter was created from information provided by more than 150 people with brain injury and their family members from across Canada. It is intended to be a ‘living document’ that will evolve as needed.
Your feedback is welcome on ways to use this charter, and any additions or modifications that would be useful to you as a survivor of brain injury or family member.
