These organizations offer different resources, information and services. The important thing about each is they will listen, offer help and provide understanding for lifetime management of this condition. See how they can help you.
[otw_shortcode_content_toggle title=”Brain Injury Association of America – BIAA” opened=”closed”]The Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) is the country’s oldest and largest nationwide brain injury advocacy organization. BIAA’s mission is to advance awareness, research, treatment, and education. We also seek to improve the quality of life for all people affected by ABI and TBI. Our dedication for increasing access to quality health care, raising awareness and understanding of brain injury is central to our mission.
Brain injury is not an event or an outcome. It is the start of a misdiagnosed, misunderstood, under-funded neurological disease. People who sustain brain injuries must have timely access to services. Expert trauma care, specialized rehabilitation, lifelong disease management, individualized services and supports make it easier to live healthy, independent, and satisfying lives.
With a network of state affiliates, local chapters, and support groups, we are the voice of people living with brain injury and their families, friends and community: http://www.biausa.org/state-affiliates.htm
