A.B.L.E.

A.B.L.E. (Adults with Brain injury Living Everyday) is a support group which met every Wednesday for activities such as bowling, cards, bingo or movies prior to the pandemic.

A.B.L.E. often pairs with other Community Partners such as Eastern Health to promote healthy living. The group has been visited by experts in exercise and nutrition and participants learned how to shop for and make healthy and delicious food. 

We are currently working on relaunching ABLE in a virtual format! For more information call our office at (709) 221-1288 or email coordinator@nlbia.ca
