KYHU was founded by two women in the Waterloo Region who, during their recoveries, saw a gap in support for youth and young adults with TBIs.
KYHU provides programs tailor-made for youth, young adults, to older adults as well, who are affected by their brain injury in Canada.
Since the development and launch of the KYHU support programs, the organization has had the opportunity to witness the support and growth of many individuals both near and far, through their TBI recovery journey.
