Life Without Barriers marks 25 years
Since its establishment in 2000, Life Without Barriers has supported 103 individuals with acquired brain injuries. People experience varying impacts as a result of their injury. Some of these can include short term memory loss, difficulties in initiating tasks, challenges with communication, seizures, headaches, and challenges in regulating their emotions. Often times, the impacts individuals face are “invisible” which can create misunderstandings, changes in family dynamics, loss of sense of identity and increased isolation.
The program's mission is to improve the quality of life for survivors by fostering independent living skills and community re-integration. Service delivery is integrated with local partners from the Saskatchewan Health Authority (ABI Regional Coordinator) and Saskatchewan Abilities Council (ABI Life Enrichment Facilitator).
Services are provided in individuals own homes in their own communities. The program focuses on a person-directed approach, addressing each individual’s needs which ensures support is provided to maximize independence.
Monthly group sessions are also provided in varying communities to facilitate life skills, peer support and community participation. Individuals can access self-help strategies and gain a sense of community and belonging within a supportive peer group who share similar experiences. Group sessions are a safe environment for individuals to be open and honest about their feelings and receive positive feedback from their peers.
