About Us
BIAC is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals with brain injury, their families, and caregivers while increasing the community’s understanding of brain injury and its prevention.
Founded in 1981 by the families of brain-injury survivors and the social service professionals assisting them, BIAC's original mission was to advocate for specific rehabilitative services and improved care. After incorporating in 1982, that mission expanded to include prevention.
Brain injuries disable more Americans each year than breast cancer, MS, spinal cord injuries, and HIV/AIDS combined.
Today, our focus remains two-fold and efforts toward these dual objectives continue to grow. As a resource in recovery, our advocates work to ensure that survivors, their families, and their caregivers are connected to the appropriate services and professionals. We also work to facilitate both independent living and meaningful inclusion at home, at school, and at work.
As a partner in prevention, we work with individuals, organizations, schools, and government to educate everyone, young and old, about both the causes and realities of brain injury.
The mission of the Brain Injury Association of Connecticut is to support persons living with brain injury and their families by promoting services to facilitate full inclusion within their local community and to increase awareness and understanding of brain injury and its prevention through community education.
