As summer comes to an end & regular routines pick back up, it’s important to know where to turn to for #braininjury support. Help is just a phone call away: 📞Call @OntarioBIA's helpline at 1-800-263-5404 📞To speak to a registered nurse, call Health811 at 8-1-1 or TTY at 7-1-1

In our review, we found most adverse events were rare, non-serious, and unrelated to telerehab. Hope this can foster broader adoption of #telerehab in a world in need of greater access to therapy. #virtualcare #telehealth #rehabilitation @UofT_Physiatry @UofT @UHN
