Welcome to the Brain Injury Association of Virginia

Something happens – an accident, an illness - and suddenly, a brain injury changes everything. What now? How will you cope with it? Who can you turn to for help? How will you find the resources you need?

Founded in 1983 by families and concerned professionals, the Brain Injury Association of Virginia (BIAV) is the only statewide non-profit organization in Virginia exclusively devoted to serving individuals with brain injury, their families, and those that care for and about them. We are a chartered state affiliate of the Brain Injury Association of America, and exist to provide support and assistance to people with brain injury, educate the public on the risks and impact of brain injury, and advocate for legislation and improved medical and community based services.

The mission of the Brain Injury Association of Virginia is to create a better future for Virginians through brain injury prevention, research, education, advocacy and support.

On this site, you and your family will find answers to some of the questions and concerns you have and learn about resources that may help you. Professionals will find resources and information that will help them guide recovery. We have provided brain injury education materials, information on services and supports available in Virginia, brain injury prevention tips, advocacy efforts, and opportunities to support the work of the Brain Injury Association of Virginia.
