BIAA HOME : VIRGINIA

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 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. Over 10,000 people find help from BIAV each year.

BIAV is a licensed state affiliate of the Brain Injury Association of America and exists to be the voice of brain injury through help, hope and healing for Virginians with brain injury and their families. We educate human service professionals and the community on the risks and impact of brain injury and advocate for improved medical and community-based services. Many of our staff members are Certified Brain Injury Specialists (CBIS Certified).

Our Mission
Brain Injury is not an event or a final outcome; it is the beginning of a lifelong disease process and is a leading cause of death and disability.

Brain injury is something most individuals don't think about until it happens to them or their family member. When it does, their lives quickly spin out of control, and they need compassionate, informed guidance to navigate the intricate system of care.

We are... The Voice of Brain Injury through Help, Hope & Healing.

Give us a call today!
