Barb Butler said it’s important to raise awareness about brain injuries because most people have misconceptions about the term.
“They think a knock on the head, you recover from that like you recover from a broken bone. But a brain injury is forever,” explained the vice-president and newsletter editor of the Brain Injury Association of Canada (BIAC).
“When people hear brain injury, I think in their heads they hear brain damage. The term brain damage is much more severe,” said Butler.
Butler is a survivor of a brain injury she got from a car accident in 1993, a year after moving to Saskatchewan, and then joined a support group in Regina. Butler later joined the Saskatchewan Brain Injury Association board and then BIAC.

Global Regina: Saturday, October 2, 2010
Researchers, patients and doctors from across Canada have been in Regina for the last few days to hold discussions about brain injuries.
A national convention being held in Regina aims to find ways to improve the lives of Canadians affected by brain injuries.
Researchers, patients and doctors from across Canada have been in Regina for the last few days. Discussions have ranged from safety and prevention to the latest research about the treatments.
Organizers stressed the importance of both research and awareness.
“A brain injury is serious and certainly all the research that’s coming out with regards to mild traumatic brain injuries, concussions, multiple concussions, are starting to bring that to light as well,” Harry Zarins from the Brain Injury Association of Canada said. “Concussions don’t just happen on the sports field.”
