Bridges For Brain Injury, Inc.

The mission of Bridges For Brain Injury, Inc. is to guide individuals with a brain injury and their families by 'bridging the gap' between surviving and living lives of independence with dignity and hope.

Our organization works to bring awarness of the effects of brain injury on individuals and their families, while providing services to guide an individual in rebuilding their skills to complete everyday tasks they were once able to do independently.  Frequently, surviviors are placed in nursing homes at a young age or left without a support system to help them cope with their disability and work toward a plan for rebuilding their lives.  Our services prevent people from being inappropriately placed in nursing homes, institutional settings or from becoming homeless and allows survivors the dignity of living more independently.  The causes of brain injury are varied. An estimated 1.4 million people suffer a brain injury each year.  80,000 - 90,000 people experience the onset of long-term disability.

Types of Acquired Brain Injuries Include:

• Aneurysm
• Stroke
• Encephalitis (Virul Infection)
• Anoxia (Near Drowning/Drug Overdoses)
• Brain Surgery (Tumors, Cancer)

• Assault/Violence
• Motor Vehicle Accidents
• Falls
• Sport-Related Concussions
• Combat/Blast Related Concussions
