Understanding Brain Injury
A brain injury can happen anytime, anywhere, to anyone. Brain injuries do not discriminate.
An injury that happens in an instant can create lifelong physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioral challenges. In fact, at least 64 million adults in the United States report having experienced a traumatic brain injury during their lifetime.
At Bridges, we believe a brain injury should never take away a person’s dignity, choices or opportunity to live a meaningful life. Our services help people with brain injuries and other disabilities build greater independence, remain connected to their communities and reduce the risk of unnecessary placement in nursing homes or institutional settings—and even homelessness.
