Increasing awareness in the community of brain-related research.

Outreach

By providing our trainees with unique and engaging opportunities to learn and grow, we are empowering them to become their very best. We know investing in their education, encouraging them to find their voices and connecting them in exciting collaborations will help us optimize our impact today and into the future.

Our trainees learn from one another, from more experienced scientists and also from people who are living with brain injury and illness, so they can truly appreciate how they can best contribute and make a difference. Many trainees work with local societies and charities to develop their skills. From board members to volunteers, they support our community and help to increase the awareness of brain-related research here in Nova Scotia and beyond. .

Local charities supported by BRC include:

• ALS Society of NB & NS

• Alzheimer’s Society

• Brian Injury Awareness Nova Scotia

• Epilepsy Association of the Maritimes

• Canadian Mental Health Association - Nova Scotia Division

• Multiple Sclerosis - Atlantic Division

• Parkinson Canada
