Why it Works?
“We move to increase vital neuro-hormones and create brain cells through the process of neurogenesis.”
— Dr. Matthew Galati
Over $1M Raised
To date, Brain Changes Initiative has raised over $1,000,000, funding research that aims to improve the standard of care for all TBI survivors and people living with brain-related disorders.
We owe our gratitude and thanks to all donors, sponsors and those who have participated in our initiatives and contributed to our cause.
How it Works
THE 2025 MOVE FOR NEUROGENESIS WILL SUPPORT RESEARCH TO PROVIDE EQUITABLE ACCESS TO GROUND-BREAKING HOLISTIC CARE FOR PEOPLE WITH LIVED TBI EXPERIENCE.
ALL SPONSORSHIP, DONATION AND REGISTRATION DOLLARS WILL HELP FUND THE 6 PILLAR CLINICAL RESEARCH PROGRAM CARRIED OUT THROUGH THE ALLIED HEALTH CARE TEAM AS PART OF THE FAMILY HEALTH TEAM MEDICAL MODEL.
TREATMENT AND SUPPORT FOR TBI SURVIVORS IS EXPENSIVE AND ONGOING. THIS PROGRAM CREATES A HOLISTIC AND PUBLICLY FUNDED OUTPATIENT REHAB MODEL IN THE COMMUNITY CENTRED AROUND BCI’S 6 PILLARS OF BRAIN HEALTH. IT WILL PROVIDE NECESSARY REHAB FOR PEOPLE WITH LIVED TBI EXPERIENCE AND LESSEN THE BURDEN & COST OF CARE FOR FAMILIES AND THE SYSTEM.
Annual Platinum Sponsor
Thank you to Multi-Gen Wealth Group for their ongoing generosity and belief in our cause.
Their support allows us to successfully carry out our mission to improve the standard of care for TBI and spread awareness that the brain has an immense ability to change and heal.
