2023 Pushor Mitchell LLP West Coast Brain Injury Conference

June 14 @ 8:00 am 5:00 pm

Pushor Mitchell LLP West Coast Brain Injury Conference

The Pushor Mitchell LLP West Coast Brain Injury Conference (WCBIC) 2023 will bring together inspiring change-makers and leading minds in the field of brain injury, public health, and politics for a full day of collaboration, dialogue, and learning.

In line with this year’s conference theme, “A Synthesis of Systems: Working Together to Fill the Gaps”, our focus is on the brain and behaviour in the context of current social issues, community connection, and systems change. Speakers topics will include intersectionality and disability justice, harm reduction, misdiagnosis of brain injury, and the perspectives of those with lived experience of brain injury.

As an attendee, sponsor, or exhibitor, you will be joining us on our mission to harness the power of community and collaboration to uplift individuals living with brain injury who fall through the gaps in our systems.

We hope that you will join us for this very important and innovative community event. Together, we believe we can make our community more just, kind, and equitable for all.
