What is L.I.A.I.S.E.?

L.I.A.I.S.E. is a program for adults with a mild to moderate Acquired Brain Injury (ABI).
 
The ABI may have resulted from stroke, accident or illness.
 
We provide assistance to help people with an ABI achieve their goals.
 
We are not a case management service.
 
We do not provide funds but we can help you to apply for funding.
 
Our services are offered over the short to medium term, with a maximum of 18 months.
