BRAINTRUST Organizational Programs
Coordinated Okanagan Brain Injury Services (COBIS)
COBIS provides local individualized community support and rehabilitation services. Services vary in each location dependent upon resources. Two offices located in Vernon and Kelowna offer a wide range of support including, residential, pre-employment, health maintenance, education, financial, compensatory strategy development, advocacy, and family support.
We work with individuals and families in one-on-one and group settings. Our staff engages in educational activities ranging from professional conferences, lecture series at local colleges and universities, education to public and private rehabilitation firms, to high school and kindergarten classes.
We create and distribute a number of educational publications aimed at supporting community based professionals and caregivers in current rehabilitation and support trends.
