Brain Injury Relearning Services was established as a division of REDI Enterprises in 1992.  In March 2002, Brain Injury Relearning Services entered into a contract with Alberta Community Development in conjunction with the Alberta Brain Injury Network (ABIN) to provide services to individuals and families affected by brain injury in the South Region of the province. 

As a result, BIRS offers a range of services to people in their homes and communities across the South Region of Alberta. Services may include support returning to work, understanding brain injury, navigating systems, accessing resources, building emotional regulation, rebuilding cognitive skills and the development of compensatory strategies.
