We believe in a better future for brain injury survivors.
Our mission is to support, educate, advocate and provide housing assistance for brain injury survivors and their families. In doing so, we strive to increase community awareness about brain injuries and reduce the harmful stigma experienced by survivors.
Acquired brain injury (ABI) results from damage to the brain that occurs after birth – and no two injuries are alike. To meet the diverse needs of our community, we offer individual support, peer support, family support, and various group programs.
We assist people who’ve experienced concussions, strokes, aneurysms, and countless other types of ABI. We’re here to help you recover, adapt, and adjust; regain independence; and develop a secure sense of community. At VBIS, there are people who get it. You’re not alone.
