Advocacy & Resources
Listing of Brain Injury Associations/Brain Injury Alliances (USA)
Access to information, services, and resources is extremely important to improving the lives of individuals with brain injury and their families. With this in mind, we are providing a listing of each state and the District Columbia with links to their respective Brain Injury Association or Brain Injury Alliance. The websites of these organizations usually provides detailed information on topics such as: Support Groups, Professional Services, Legal Services, Financial Assistance, Educational Services, Employment Support, Recreational Opportunities, and other topics.
Please visit the site of the organization serving your state. In future DLF newsletters, we will provide additional information about services and resources for the brain injury community.
Listing of Brain Injury Model Systems Centers (USA)
The TBI Model System centers provide a multidisciplinary system of rehabilitation care, including emergency medical, acute medical, and post-acute services to improve care and outcomes for people with TBI. In addition to providing direct services, these centers play a pivotal role in building the national capacity for high-quality treatment and research, serving persons with TBI, their families, and the communities in which they reside.
