Welcome to the Traumatic Brain Injury Resource Center!
Our mission is to support traumatic brain injury survivors, caregivers, and their families; inform professionals whose work touches clients with a head injury; promote prevention; and increase awareness of the impact of traumatic brain injury on society.
Our vision is every brain injury survivor & caregiver embraced by a supportive community, connected to well-trained health care providers, and living their best life possible.
A Message from the Traumatic Brain Injury Resource Center
We have some important news to share with our community of TBI survivors, caregivers, family members, friends, volunteers, donors, and supporters who have helped make TBIRC a source of hope, connection, education, and support for so many years. The building that has been home to the Traumatic Brain Injury Resource Center for over a decade has been listed for sale. While we don’t yet know what the future holds, we are actively exploring every option to ensure that TBIRC can continue serving traumatic brain injury survivors and their families for years to come.
A Better Life After Brain Injury
Life following a brain injury is difficult not only for survivors but their caregivers and families. We offer inspiration, information, and a supporting community to brain injury survivors. Discover how you can find hope, resources, and support at the Traumatic Brain Injury Resource Center. Join us on our journey towards a better life after brain injury.
Community of Survivors
TBIRC is a community created by survivors for survivors. All programming is offered free of charge to everyone regardless of means. Since we are a community center and not a medical treating facility, we are not eligible for reimbursement by Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance. Instead, we rely on the support of the community. Donations can be made in person, by mail or clicking the button below.
