About Supporting Survivors of Abuse and Brain Injury through Research (SOAR)

Almost half (44%) of women in Canada will experience violence at the hands of a partner in their lifetime. Did you know as many as 92% of those survivors report hits to the head and face (along with strangulation) that can cause brain injury? Supporting Survivors of Abuse and Brain Injury through Research (SOAR) is working to change that. SOAR is a registered charity, and the only organization in Canada with a singular focus on brain injury from intimate partner violence. We EXPLORE the intersection of brain injury and intimate partner violence by partnering with researchers, health care providers, and community agencies, EDUCATE members of the public and frontline service providers who work with survivors, and EMPOWER survivors to get the supports and services they need to move into healthy lives free of abuse. Everything we do is grounded in recognizing trauma and its effect on survivors. Our goal? To improve the lives of women and gender-diverse survivors of intimate partner violence-caused brain injury through research, education and advocacy.
