A car accident, a stroke, a war injury, a terrible fall: whatever the cause, a traumatic brain injury has a life-altering impact. In Northern Virginia and surrounding areas, BIS is the only organization that specializes in serving brain injury survivors – whose challenges often appear invisible and require individualized support. Occupational therapists work with clients to develop practical life skills while counselors and case managers guide them in setting goals for a fulfilling life. Survivors build relationships with each other in membership programs while caregivers create a sense of community through support groups. Those ready to pursue job and volunteer placements work with BIS to secure and maintain employment – a big milestone. These person-centered services matter: they empower over 1,100 survivors annually to live with independence and dignity.
